recently i was told very similar by a tire shop, and even that 1 bolt is seized. i took car to BMW, and they were able to allign the car to spec on all tires without any issue and no need to replace any bolts or anything seized. IMO shops charging flat rate for allignment just want to do a quick toe allignment so steering wheel is straight and they dont care about the rest even though it effects tire wear and overall performance.
The original BMW rear suspension already has essentric washer and essentric bolts to allow a good range of adjustment unless you have some serious subframe or control arm damage.
