These are not sport sedans, they are not track cars. The whole 'toe helps turn in' is a canard that isnt really applicable to an SUV.
OP- those specs are pretty odd. They look like their specs not BMW specs.
I do not like how the front cambers are out of whack- one neg, one positive?!
Set the toe to 0.01- 0.02" each wheel. Balance the front camber. Zero is fine. Rear at -1.x fine.
Do not fall for this nonsense about handling, turn in and cornering- with TOE...

I don't know what to say about there alignment specs but I do know they have good 4 wheel laser equipment and lots of car clubs have used them in the past. I however am going to try the Wheel alignment centre(I posted the link above) so it will be interested to see what specs they work with.
I thought you could only changed the front camber if you fitted the camber correction top arms part no.6
RealOEM.com * BMW E70 X5 3.0d Frnt axle support,wishbone/tension strut
I also have a new pair of lower arms to fit before the alignment check due to slightly worn ball joints so this may help also.
Can you adjust camber on the rear of an e70 or just the toe?
Thanks for all your help so far.
