Rear (E39)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 127 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, and 2005 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A change in camber also means a change in toe. This means that camber must be adjusted first.
  1. Before adjusting, replace disc collar nut (1) and ensure eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. See Fig 1. Tighten disc collar nut to specification. See E39  under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Loosen disc collar nut 1/2 to 1 complete turn.
  3. Using the eccentric screw, adjust camber precisely to specification. See E39  under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.
    4. CAUTION: If the hexagon collar nut is tightened down more than 10 times during adjustment, it must be replaced. The self-locking effect becomes too slight.
  4. Tighten down disc collar nut (1). Ensure that eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. See Fig 1. Tighten disc collar nut to specification. See E39  under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
