Thanks.
no negative effects. i brought rear camber back to original specs. the front is 0.2 off since there is no front camber adjustment, but its very minimal to make a difference. positive toe eats tires on the inside more than negative camber does

im getting an average of 50/50 city and highway of 23-24mpg or 10-10.5l/100km. i love the low end torque. really a pleasure to drive and accelerate in traffic.

Wow, just when I thought it couldn't have been better..you place that aero kit on! so nice!
Nice touch on the grilles to match.

That SAV will definitely feel at home in Ottawa..what with all this snow and all

very nice ride

Thanks. Also swapped all the badging for gloss black, removed the x drive badge and added a "d" beside the rear x5 emblem

Wow, very nice! I need to get a diesel. It's hard to find one with the third row. I love the gas mileage.

Keep the toe to the minimum end of the spec, and the camber will have MUCH LESS impact on wear.

It is TOE combined with camber that chews tires....
