xDrive Toe out?
Since I've gotten my xDrive (328xi) E91, I've felt that it hasn't turned in as sharply as my old RWD/6MT/ZSP E90. Has anyone added a little toe out, either front or rear, to get it to be a little more lively in the turns?

I have like 0.5 deg toe out. It feels good but the car follows the roots in the road a lot.

I have my toe set to zero in front.
You don't want to toe out for a street car. As you accelerate, toe angles naturally go out. So at rest, I have 0 toe but when I am accelerating, my toe angle goes out some. I'm also running -2.4 camber in front on my xDrive as well. |

That's why I was considering adding some toe out to my xDrive. How does the 0 toe drive on your car? How are you achieving -2.4 camber? Camber plates I'm guessing? Does it tramline on the freeway? |

I'm using Dinan fixed plates. I'm lowered on H&R coilovers though so camber naturally goes negative when you lower |
