5.3 Toe-In

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 550i and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The toe-in is the reduction in the distance between the front of the wheels and the rear. The toe-in prevents the wheels from moving apart whilst driving (wobbling and grinding).
