Bottom line is if you need more rear toe adjustment b/c your maxed with the eccentric bolt stock setup there really is only one solution..aftermarket and Rogue is a proven race setup..so you cant go wrong

Straight is cheaper to make. It is also simple to put those toe links together.
The factory car actually has plenty of toe adjustment capability, even on cars that are extremely low. The toe adjuster always has more than enough toe to set the alignment.
If in fact the alignment cannot be set with the factory hardware, you might want to start looking into bent components, or the sub-frame may have shifted, something I have seen many times on E46 and E9x M3's.
To the OP, I don't see how that tech managed a 0.00 driving axis on the rear axle with the BMW system with static toe on each side being so far off from one another. The only thing I can think of is that the frame is not aligned and these settings were required to compensate for that.
Good luck!
