    Rear wheel meg camber

    I just purchased a 98 z3 and noticed the amount of camber in the rear tires Goodyear says the spec is 2.8° but mine looks excessive Does anybody know if rear wheel camber is adjustable on The z3 it is not the m. Drove the car home for 100 miles yesterday tracked well steered well no shake just wondering about the camber thanks for the help

    Not adjustable from the factory. There are adjuster add on kits that can be installed (requires removal of the subframe and welding). It is normal on the M's, not so much on others (although you don't say what you have). It is typically more pronounced where the car has been lowered.

    You won't notice it driving. You might notice excessive tire wear on the inside edge. Sometimes it looks pretty bad, but doesn't wear the tires so bad. You can spend significant money fixing it, or just live with it.

    Most people upgrade to stiff subframe bushings anyway so this is a good route
