With that said mine had a significant right hand pull from the factory. I went through several dealer visits and alignments before I found this TSB on Bimmerpost . I made them aware and Initially they told me it was not compatible with the CS. The next planned step was to replace a steering knuckle but lucky for me when I went in for that the service advisor did informed me they had found it and it was compatible. They loaded it up and did another alignment and it tracks like it's on rails now. Straight as an arrow. On center feel and initial turn in was much improved too. Couldn't believe the difference. Scroll thru the attached thread and see my last comment.

My car had the same pull to the right from factory. And that was why I had the dealership do the alignment. I will read your post carefully

Oh cool. well I will see how the tires wear at Laguna Seca soon

I’ve just changed my rears on my M4CS which had cup2 and the inner tread of the 3 was by far the best. The outermost groove was on the depth markers, the innermost was about 1mm above.

This was at 8k miles

Should I blame it on the BMW dealership that did the initial alignment? (Not that I am going after them since it is 6 months ago)

But I don't recall any incident that might have caused the toe issue

That explains it.

Your alignment printout. Shows quite a big variance between the right and left caster

Pretty surprising how off your toe is..maybe the tech that aligned it previously didn’t tighten the toe but? It is in an awkward area so maybe he didn’t torque it correctly.
