Re: 2WD C10 Modern/Performance Alignments

So I aligned my 325i tonight. Notice how much camber is allowed by the spec. Notice how little caster was dialed in back in those days (for a BMW) . I don't know why mine is closer to negative caster though. Check out the fractional toe! Again, 1/16th postive per side and 1/8th total.
The toe was so far out initially because I had to take off the steering wheel to do some work. When I put it back on I installed it one spline of to the right accidentally. Leveling the steering wheel before setting toe made it look like this.

Just curious, what was the before and after caster numbers on your 325i?
