I've just replaced the two front tyres on my E93 330i and the inner edges were both worn. To a concerning level compared to the majority of the surface which was 3-4mm across the outer 80% of the tread.
Having never turned the wheels full lock to check this I was more than a bit surprised. I'm planning on new suspension bushes and shocks anyway, followed by a 4 wheel alignment, but the tyre fitter stated he sees this on a lot of BMW's. He said it was because they are designed to travel at higher speeds in Germany, therefore pressing down on the car harder and levelling out the camber.
I really don't think that can be the case but a quick googlefu suggests that my car is not the only one with this phenomenon.
Anyone else able to shed some light on this?
