If you bring it to the dealer and just tell him you want an alignment, you're going to get what BMW says is right for the handling (suspension) of your car. Which, at least in my case, is not the the alignment needed for optimal tread life.
SAs seem to know and accept that BMW approved alignment specs lead to uneven wear. My sense is they are reluctant to offer alternatives for fear of altering the handling characteristics of your car and, of course, running afoul of the liability which could result from that.
