Even if the car is running straight, you'll want to get that fixed if possible. It'll wear quicker than your other three tires.
Every BMW I've ever had has rears that look like that. Some body style curves at the rear wells accentuate it more than others. Toe in and negative camber at the rear is normal, in the spec, and that's probably all you're seeing. Take some comfort that you have a fresh alignment report on hand that says everything is fine.

It is still true that this specification wears rear tires faster, but that doesn't mean something is broken.
