I assume you got the car re-aligned after changing bushings.

AFAIK, the best solution would be the bimmerworld adjustable rear toe links. If I get serious about tracking the car, that's what I would buy.
I marked the eccentric bolts before removal, and I checked the toe after reinstall with my plates. Still spot on.

Why would you think adjustable toe links are the best solution, if the toe links don't appear to be the problem?

Yeah, could be the inner camber arm bushing, or the guide rods.

I'll probably cave and buy a set of inner camber arm bushings on the cheap.....but I doubt I'll spring for the M3 guide rods at this point, at least not on the 135, as I'll probably be selling in a year or so.

Perhaps I'll try them on the X1, which suffers from the same problem, albeit to a lesser extent.

Edit: What are you referring to as the "camber arm"? The camber arm is the sheet metal arm that supports the spring on an E90, but that's not what the Godspeed camber arms are.
