Thanks a lot for your feedback, Simon.

im sorry noone replied til now, well I dont know, but why is your camber so far > off? Sounds like you hit a curb or suffered some major accident?

R:: I didn't hit anything since I have the car (May 2000), but I don't know what happened in its past history.
Actually, the front is not a big issue. The camber is just 0.5 degrees off, it may be that the strut mount itself is the problem, or the strut tower.
BMW has an original front camber correction strut mount, it's part# 31331139484, it sets the camber +/- 0.5 degrees, so one way or the other I will fix the front geometry.

The rear alignment it's what troubles me most. Indeed, I may have to follow you suggestion and simply replace the rear trailing arm, and maybe the rear subframe, too.
