2023 BMW i4 eDrive 40 Alignment and Camber Issues - Looking for Suggestions

Hi Bimmerposters and readers,

I've been reading posts for a while but decided to make my first post. I recently went for a 4-wheel alignment on my 2023 i4 eDrive 40 (M-sport, adaptive dampers, 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot 4*).

The alignment results showed that the front wheels have almost no camber (only 0.26 degrees), whereas the G26 420i, for example, has around 1 degree of camber. I think this could be the reason why my i4 feels a bit slow to respond in steering at speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph), and even a bit "frozen" around 125 km/h (78 mph). I don’t want to have to give too much steering input to move the car, but I find the fine corrections too heavy, especially at higher speeds.

The "Swivel Bearing, Camber Correction" was suggested by my tire/suspension specialist, but my BMW dealer is not familiar with it. This part adds extra camber to the front wheels, and it supposedly corrects the camber by 0.6-0.7 degrees, bringing it closer to 1 degree, which seems to be the average for street BMWs.

My car:

Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions!
