32 00 620 Adjusting rear axle

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW 128i, 2012 BMW 128i, 2011 BMW 128i, 2010 BMW 128i, and 2009 BMW 128i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A camber change always means a toe change as well. The camber must therefore be adjusted first.
IMPORTANT: Only on cars with Active Cruise Control:
Because the axis of motion is the  reference for ACC adjustment, it is necessary after an adjustment of the rear axle which alters the axis of motion also to check the adjustment of the ACC sensor! 

Adjusting camber: 

Replace nut (2) and tighten to 5 Nm.

Turn eccentric bolt (1) to adjust camber to setpoint value.

Tighten nut (2).
