I spoke with development engineers and designers and it turns out that to prevent excessive wear on all Msport cars the tyres should be ran at there maximum pressures, that means 5 adults and luggage setting as detailed on either you fuel filler flap or drivers door b-pillar.
This is a know issue within BMW and this is what they recommend because of the excessive camber angles and other geometry settings. It is by no means a total solution but coupled with regular checks which should be at least fortnightly (tyre pressures) if not weekly it does extend the life of the large diameter tyres. |
What’s the consensus on the cause of the outer edge wear? Incorrect recommended tire pressure? Toe? Camber?
The tire pressure could be an easy fix. Toe I’m not sure about. Camber seems like it could be corrected by Meyle upper control arms with camber adjustment.
Noticed the same wear on mine and wondering how to prevent this.
