335d geometry at kwikfit settings

My outer edges on front tyres non rft (36psi front 38 rear) seem to wearing excessively, I had geometry done about 5 month ago but they had m3 settings in surely this isn't right what car should they use? Said 335d wasn't on the list.

Cheers

M3 settings increase the tyre wear.
Normal M sports or bmw performance ZCP settings work best.

Funny you should mention this, I removed all my wheels on Friday and the back apart from being about 2-3mm across have worn evenly.

However my fronts have worn both inner and outter edges which tell me it's under inflatted? What pressures do you run for a non run flat, standard 330d size tyre? It's on vreds at the minute.

Also the fronts could be heavily worn due to doing two track days but I can't decide which! One was in the wet and one was in the dry, backs have worn out in less than 6 months but I do accelerate when I like and as hard as I want regardless of wheel spin!

I had mine M3 settings for 2 years now, Tyres has even wear across, I think i have 0 degree on toe/camber i think. but that sorted out the uneven wear.

2.4 /2.7 bar pressure, front tyres are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. hope this helps

thats amazing, because i had a hell of a battle on my hands getting them to use M3 settings on my car, and it has M3 suspension (arms anyway)

iirc there is only a difference of 0.04 degree's Toe between stock and M3, the camber is set by the lower arms and subframe, so they cannot adjust that.
