Is this excessive rear camber? Dangerous to drive?

[alamara967]

2009 Bmw 335i E93 sitting on bilstein b7 coilovers. Max ride height. car still sits low but i wouldn’t consider it crazy low. when i installed the coilovers i made the mistake of backing out the alignment bolt on the rear lower control arms. i went in today to get an alignment and this is how they gave me the car. i’m not very smart when it comes to alignments but i’m pretty sure -3 degrees in the rear is excessive. will this affect my tire wear and is this safe to drive? also why does it say “m3 sedan” at the top? are the alignment specs the same as for an m3? my wheels/tires specs are
Front:
19×8.5 ET30
235/35 19 Continental Extreme Contact
DWS06
Rear:
19×9.5 ET35
265/30 19 Continental Extreme Contact

That’s REALLY aggressive for just street useage and with a relatively smallish tire.

It looks like they just put it as an “M3” for writing up the ticket maybe? Not sure on that one but regardless most M’s run -2.5 MAX and even then that’s aggressive and meant for tracking mostly.

Sure, you need/want a bit of negative camber in the rear, but most guys are running -1 to -2 at max depending on setup. Lowering springs will obviously affect your camber as well but man….that’s a bit much for my taste and not tracking the car.

You’re going to wear out those tires on the inner side sooner and have less contact on outer.

Yes it is excessive plus your rear tires will probably not last more that 7-8 thousand miles unless you drive really passively.
