I had my E61 wheel alignment done, the rear inner shoulders was wearing and sawtooth, which as you know is common!

The rear was within spec -2.0 but I asked them to aim for -1.2 but could only get it to -1.35.

It seems to of helped, as the the rears have been making a howling/whine noise. Is it possible on the M sport LCI to get -1.0 on the rear? The tech said he was on the limit.

Also, should the rear and front toe be equal 0.0 degree? On the same axle?

How is your air compressor sounding? I found I was getting excessive wear on my inner rears and occasional suspension bongs, when I bought a new upgraded air compressor from ebay.de it resolved the issue.

I sometimes hear a normal compressor noise.

Rear isn't sagging and looks level. No noises etc either, smooth riding.

Why did you want -1.2 rear camber? Afraid I don't understand your toe question, it's all in spec.

I wanted -1.2 rear camber, but the guy could only get it to -1.35 he said that it's right on the boarder, I am guessing of the adjustment.

When I have looked and reading online, it seems the toe should be equal on the same axle, and/or 0.0 degrees.
