Are all X5 born with Negative Cambers on the rear wheels?
I've noticed that a lot of X5's out there have a negative camber on the rear wheels (top of rear wheels are slanted inwards). Mine has it. Some are more severe than others!! is this by design for stability? why are some mofe severe than others? Is your X5 like that (go a distance behind your X5 and look at the rear wheels to see if they sit vertical on the ground or are they slanted). Anyone knows??

So if one wants to correct it? Is that a bad idea? (I'm a pretty good driver
 at least I like to think so). I'm worried about tire wear, tires are not cheap. Also for those 3.0 X5 with upgraded 20" wheels, did you adjust the camber when you pu on the new wheels?

Some negative camber is not a bad thing since it helps maximizing the footprint of the tire on the ground when cornering. It is true too that excessive negative (or posititive) camber increases wear on tires though. Depending on your driving style you may want more or less negative camber.

factory spec has normal tire wear. toe out of alignment does far worst damage then excessive camber (either negative or positive). imo, if you don't know what to do when the rear is sliding around, leave the camber and other alignment specs stock (including ride height and camber)...

i guess smaller the wheels the more severe it looks, especially on the standard non-sport package wheels, what are those 16 or 17's?...the negative camber with those look unpleasant especially when your driving right behind the car

Does anyone knows what the OEM spec for the negative camber?
