Question Wheel alignment printout for my 535i. Suggestions welcome

I had an alignment done to my car today as the previous set of rear tires were having too much inner tread wear, lasting barely 10k miles with conservative driving. The alignment machine they used was DSP600. How do these specs look? My local shop did not have the proper weights required but the tech did tell me that the rear camber should be -1.3 with 150lb rear passengers on each side after some driving. Wheels are 20 in and stock ride height, disregard the print out of the Active front steering, which is an option that I don't have. The car does track straight but has slightly less grip then before.

here's mine as the tech said my camber is pretty flat now cause i told him i don't want any inner tire wear. but than again i'm on 21's. i believe somebody said it would be your toe in toe out that would cause all the inner tire wear.

thanks for the picture. I'm just kind of worried with my right rear camber being a little more off then before. increase of -0.2 degrees of cross camber. I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not.

Back at the alignment shop after a full tank of gas to have them adjust my rear camber to -1.25 degrees rear.

Just watch for premature tire wear or even vibrations in the steering wheel. So far mine's been
