I'd imagine that's people fitting the non eccentric e46m3 lollipop bushes (which will give~ 5°) instead of the correct z4m ones to give the spec 7° :?

Yeah guess it must be. Wondered why I was sat in the middle at 6 degrees but maybe the Powerflex I've got fitted aren't quite the same spec as standard BMW bushes though are the correct Z4M offset ones.
