Please read I need some expert opinions from you all.
(I have a 97 E36 M3)

Just went to do alignment at a local Firestone shop today and found front wheel camber to be negative(-2.02 degree) for the front/left and positive(+0.18 degree). I asked the guy and he told me that BMW camber is not adjustable and that my car has probably been in an accident hence the out of align camber readings. I was totally shocked since I bought the car used. I went home and digged out the previous alignment printouts I have from the same shop. Only to find that my car's front camber is well with spec (-1.05 and -0.71) the last two times I done my alignment.

I know I didn't get in any accidents since the last time I did my alignment. But what could possibly be wrong? Could my suspension be worn and need replacements? Could that the guy never did alignment for me (and just want to make an excuse for it?) Was my car really been in an accidient???
