That's not correct. It is 100% dependent on the location of the tie-rod with respect to the axle centerline. On a car like the E39 M5 with recirculating ball steering that has the tie rods located behind the centerline, increasing negative camber results in more toe-in. Similarly, on an E9x car with xDrive, the rack and pinon is located behind the axle centerline resulting in the same outcome. (both of course McPherson strut based suspensions)

In my experience with previous cars if you lower the car the camber naturally turns negative. How does the camber in the m2 not get affected when you're lowering the car? doesnt the axel ride up naturally making the camber go negative?

I'm running lowered, and I think I'm around -1.5* camber just from the lowering (if I can remember correctly...).

So far on the track, I wish I had just a little more camber, but for the most part it's fine. I don't want to deal with any potential warranty issues with my suspension (m perf, with warranty). Dealerships are really aggressive with deny warranty claims if they notice 3rd party mods - I had one refuse a suspension repair because they noticed I had a 5mm spacer on a previous car.

I installed a front splitter to hopefully help a little with the slight understeer I'm experiencing.
