Negative Camber

On modern BMW chassis, it is possible to set a negative camber for the straight-ahead position on the front axle as well. This has been made possible by using two rows of ball bearings. The rear wheels on BMW vehicles have always had a negative camber.

This is a compromise. The wheels on the rear axle cannot be shifted to the negative camber range by steering movements. To improve cornering stability, a negative camber has to be pre-set.
