Alignment?

I got my alignment done at a local shop here in NJ but now that I look at the car, the front tires look like they have A LOT of postive camber. I will get the sheet up shortly.

Side note, my TPMS don't work either with the new 299M wheels. I had the shop look at if the sensors were bad, said they are all good. Maybe tire pressure ares different on those wheels?

Did you reset the tpms when you got them installed on the new wheels?

Went through the iDrive and did it.

I realized the x5M wheels were from a 2010, while I have a 2011. They changed it up then.

Camber is not adjustable, only toe up front. To change camber, you have to buy some pricey suspension arms from BMW, and even then ONLY give 0.5deg of adjustment. So you may have your eyes playing tricks on you.

I took a picture, not the greatest but you can see it tilts inwards at the bottom.

That does look like it has positive camber.
