I am installing Eibach lowering springs to induce front camber, lower the center of gravity and improve the look of the car.
I dont know if this will solve the problem, but i do know that there is no adjustability for the front camber of the e70x5 unless you install different BMW OE fixed upper camber arms.
I have the 20" sport package x5d 275/315

Thanks Mastek,
I have also read a lot about this outside wear, I am however not sure all E70 suffer from this problem? - could imaging the wider tires could add to this problem.
Since I have just started to see this (over the last 4000KM / 2 weeks) and I have normally been very careful inspecting (measuring with a caliper) and adjusting the air pressure accordingly, I was just wondering if mine is wearing faster by adding to high pressure and by this make the problem worse? - I mean, 4000 km ago where I were running with lower pressure the wear were even flat over the tire surface.
If too low pressure, you normally will bear the edges on both sides.
Thanks

No - increased tire pressure will normally cause the center of tire to wear more. Higher pressure results in a slightly rounder profile.
