Alignment Question
Had an alignment done and I am curious as to the front camber.
It was the end of the day and I did not have time to chat with them. I thought that the M3 was pretty adjustable. Perhaps I am losing my mind. Anyway, is this out of whack?

That seems like a big difference from one side to the other.
If I had a vote, I'd recommend pulling the alignment pins and try to get the front camber to match side to side. My guess is that the left side will get to -1.6 after the pin is pulled. If it lands near the -1.6 guess, make the right side match. But if tracking, camber plates for sure.

The shop likely just did not know how... Bit of a PITA but it needs it adjusted.

i would just pull the alignment pin and call it a day.
it would instantly max to -2 degrees almost. you won't notice any difference in tire wear or street-ability. but you will need to re-adjust the toe possibly.

That's my thought. At least make them consistent.
