Looking for rear camber kit for E53

I’ve heard good things about these.

That being said if you’re experiencing super bad wear on the inner 1.5 - 2” of your rear tire, the culprit is a worn out lower ball joint. I’d replace those before I went with a camber kit.

I would do both the above mentioned mods. It's nice being able to set "0" camber on my rear drive.

You no longer have the bottom of your tires looking further out than the top?

I need to get a picture and show you. But it looks great in terms of perfect alignment of rear tires sticking out matching the fender well.

The bushing kit is made out of polyurethane. These will outlast any of the adjustable arms. I think using the adjustable arms is more of a band aid than actually addressing the problem. If you look on this forum, many times when a forum member notices he needs to replace his adjustable arm, the certain model he got is no longer available or no replacement part of the kit--and then back to square-one!

Getting the adjustable poly bushings is a "set-it and forget it."

I'd like to see a picture for sure. Thank you.

There's no such thing as "set and forget" on a BMW.

Hey,
Thanks for all the information. Your X5 looks real good mine is very similar but its the V8 - 4.6 with all the bells and whistle from the factory.
Just started trying to restore it but its expensive and some parts are hard to find but no rush no worries, I will post pictures as soon as its done.

Rear ball joints first, then change the control arms to adjustable. A lot easier to install and adjust and about the same money.

Pretty crazy that all of that is about the same price as the KMAC parts.
