I've noticed that and didn't think much of it. My E36 runs about -1.5 so it's overlooked.

I'll put it on the list, although the mileage put on my cars is low. Thanks for the heads-up.

Factory spec is -1.9 but I set mine at -1.0.

I take back the numbers I mentioned. Rememory is one of the problems with multiple cars and uses... or is that age. Haha.

My E36 M3 is set up for auto-x use, so it's got an aggressive alignment. Fronts are at -3.6/3.5 and the rears are -2.1/2.2 with minimal toe.

If and when the X5 gets on an alignment rack, the numbers will be much more conservative.
