20" sport package alignment feedback

Howdy to those who have undoubtedly been trying to maximize their tire life. From my experience, I have seen tires on these things range from around 12kmi to much much greater depending on the alignment specs. Just received an alignment and am looking for feedback.

Had the X5 in for a service and the outer edges of the fronts were wearing a bit quicker than I had wanted, so requested a 4-wheel alignment. Here is what I received back after requesting the alignment to be as close to the minimum BMW specs, plus requested front toe to be closer to 0 (I hope that was the right thing to do).

Previously the factory Dunlops wore out at around 12kmi and I had an alignment performed last year to the minimum factory specs. This has improved tire wear as I'm currently around 16kmi on these tires with around 50% tread left. Only current issue is outer tire wear, but (guessing here) it looks like that is due to my front toe?

Thanks in advance for feedback
