A few weeks ago I asked if anyone knew the alignment specifications for the 8 Series cars. No responses. Anyway I had my car (94 840Ci) aligned at my dealer and here are the specs right off of the alignment printout.

Front: Camber -0 degrees 41' to +0 degrees 19' (essentially vertical); Caster 7 degrees 29' to 8 degrees 29' ; Toe (each wheel) 0 degrees 7' to 0 degrees 11'. Total toe for front: 0 degrees 13' to 0 degrees 23'.

Rear: Camber -1 degree 9' to -0 degrees 55' (slightly negative); Toe (each wheel) 0 degrees 6' to 0 degrees 12'. Total toe for rear: 0 degrees 12' to 0 degrees 24'.

My front and rear toe were slightly out. I have Bridgestone RE730s and correcting the toe made a big difference in the tire noise.
