I have no idea on how to read this, all I know is what camber and toe mean. Other than that, I don't know how to read the numbers. If someone can help me out, and explain the results in layman's terms.

My main issue is the Rear Right wheel, using my eyeballs there is a negative camber, is that reflecting on the alignment results?

Side note, I have installed the SPC adjustable CA.

I read the article you provided, thanx for that. So from looking at the results, is there an indication of negative camber in the right rear wheel?

Yes, your car is showing:
-2.1* Camber for the LR
-2.2* Camber for the RR

The camber number in the middle is the DIFFERENCE between the two sides, so the difference +.1* in favor of the RH side.

Is it possible to get that camber number to zero? I prefer my wheels to be completely str8.

You want 0* rear camber?

Is this a drift car?

0* would be way out of spec per BMW and most "street car" setups.

No nothing like that. It's just I don't like how the negative camber looks. If not zero, then how much do I need to get it as close as possible to zero?

And what is bmw spec for the 330i? Cuz afair the stock control arms barely had negative camber.
