So I'm going to play dummy here just because it's great to hear your guy's input and it should make sense to me but...when the tech says he was able to get it back within OEM specs regarding the alignment wouldn't the OEM specs be null because it's now lowered? I remember on my Accord and it was on coilovers I had to take it to a specialty shop for lowered vehicles and they aligned it old skool. He explained because it sits that low the vehicle cannot be aligned to OEM specs but it can be aligned to get camber, caster and toe at the height it's sitting. Which totally made sense to me. Or maybe in the BMW it's fine and I'm just not comprehending what he meant by BWM specs?

Appreciate the insight PJ! I know the tech said even tho I'm sitting that low he was able to align the car. I just thought I spent too much time over thinking. Like I mentioned he did say rear camber was 2 degrees way off and was able to pull it back to almost 0 or flat

FYI, what kills the tire is the toe.
Camber is for tire surface that is in contact to the ground. 0 degree means you have full tire contact to the ground on a straight line. - degree means you will have less outer tire contact to the ground on straight line, but have more contact during a turn. + degree is the oposite of the - degree. While toe adjustment, will control more of the oversteer and understeer. There is more to it than just saying - camber will burn your tire fast.
