 Topic: Odd Wear PatternPosted: 26 Oct 2013 at 8:57pm |

I'm not sure where this belongs on the forum - I suspect suspension settings, or something like that. I've just taken my OEM wheels with their Bridgestone RFs and put my old Club Sport wheels on to see if they will fit, and I noticed that the rear Bridgestones have worn alarmingly just on the inside shoulder (hopefully I'll work out how to attach photos). Is this normal wear pattern for a 135i M Sport, or is it likely that the previous owner set the suspension with high degree of camber for track use, or similar?

Since I seemed to struggle to attach 2 photos in the same post, here's another one with flash on, which makes the wear pattern clearer.

The car would need to be inspected to see if there were any modifications from standard or ask the previous owner? That aside they don't look too bad to me judging by a very similar wear pattern on a couple of my M cars. Richard |

If you're talking about the lower shoulder wear that we can just see on the bottom of the tyre then this is fairly normal IME with bridgestones. I had the exact same wear on my bridgestones on the Z4. I put Pirelli P 0's on which have a a rounder shoulder and did NOT have this wear issue.
