Rear (E65)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 127 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, and 2005 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: A change of camber always involves a change of toe. Adjust camber first. See REAR (E65) under CAMBER ADJUSTMENT.

Replace nut (1). Ensure eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. See Fig 1. Tighten nut (1) to specification. See E65 under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Release nut (1) again by 1/2 to 1 turn.
Adjust toe with eccentric screw (3) precisely to specification. See E65 under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.

CAUTION: If the nut is tightened down more than 10 times during adjustment, it must be replaced again. The self-locking effect becomes too slight.

Ensure eccentric washer is correctly located (2). See Fig 1. Tighten nut (1) to specification. See E65 under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
