What camber angle does your X5 have?
 

Observing the 2008 X5's front wheels, I can see having a fairly positive camber angle. I'm not sure if this is a factory spec, but am planning to request for an alignment because it just seems like too much of a positive camber. For people who received a new X5, what's the factory set camber angle? Are they distinctly positive, zero or negative?

I do not know what the front is, but my 07 X5 4.8 has a negative camber angle in the rear. I heard that it is -1.5?? What I do know, is that negative camber angle destroys my tires on the inside. I guess if I was racing the car everyday at 100 mph I might enjoy the negative angle, but not on local roads between NJ, NY and Long Island.

Positive camber isn't a good thing, unless it was intentional for an vehicle that will be loaded down. An alignment to factory specs would be a good idea.

Personally, I'd go with bit of camber in the front to assist with turn-in. (Dinan sells plates). Factory camber spec in the rear. 0.065 toe-out in the front, 0 toe in the rear.

Improper toe kills tires way faster than camber.
