I think if you are at zero or close to it - yes. Especially if you had more toe beforehand and got accustomed to the feel.

Took it easy today and only did both front fenders and a door. Very happy with the color and super excited to see it with all the carbon bits

Picked up a new battery, dropped it in & registered it with Carly. Pretty easy job really.

The pedals make a huge difference don't they? I didn't do the dead pedal as my car isn't an "M"....so I'm still looking for a suitable replacement.

Caster is also a big thing for on center weight and "feel" More caster is more "feel" and centering. The further you tilt the line that the wheels pivot around aft the harder the wheels will push back. If it is vertical then no push back....if you could tilt back horizontal a huge amount of self centering. Also affect how the car changes the cross weighting to the opposite rear wheel. When I was racing karts it was a big factor in chassis tuning since you didn't have much else to "tune".

Is caster adjustable by itself on our cars or is it a consequence of toe and camber (if one has the strut mount pins removed)?

Absolutely in love with how the hood came out. Can't wait to get the bumper done and see it with all the carbon coming in

What I did to my new to me 128i Sport 6 mt.
Redline MTL Valvoline synthetic 75w90 diff fluid. CDV delete. (If you have not done this....just go do it....) Shifts better and the oil definitely needed swapping.

Just to chime in a bit: -Caster is non-adjustable without caster/camber plates. -M control arms give a little more caster, but the largest benefit is camber. (I didn't notice any change in steering "feel" from the swap) -Subtle changes in toe go a long way to improve/destroy steering behavior in these cars. Adding a little toe-out (a rule of thumb that I followed is just under 0.1 degree out per 1.0 degree of negative camber) did great things for my steering feel. I get reasonable wear on the street, but still ROAST the outside edges on the track (I need camber plates desperately). The steering was lighter (read better), more linear, and far more accurate on the highway. I still have some tweaking to do (mostly to get the steering wheel perfectly straight) with my alignment...
