Rogue Engineering Camber Plates BMW E46 323, 328, 325, 330 & ZHP

The Rogue Engineering Fixed Camber Plates are an inexpensive, easy way of improving the handling of your BMW.  These fixed front camber plates increase the negative camber, reducing understeer and improving turn in.

A Tale of Improved Handling
One of the most popular vehicles to come through Rogue Engineering's facility is probably the BMW E46 M3.  A very capable car in stock form, we pride ourselves in making this very popular BMW handle better and go faster.  When we start looking at specific information about the setup of the vehicle, in stock form, the factory alignment settings are shown in the chart below.  See the yellow, highlighted section referring to the "front camber" range.

A feature of the E46 strut tower is the incorporation of their "crash slots".  These slots have been incorporated into the front strut towers to allow for the left and right alignment specs to be even, in the case of uneven left/right specifications. (accidents, suspension component wear, bushing wear).  Assuming "perfect" left/right alignment, removal of the strut mount "pin", and moving the strut mounts completely inwards, you can gain an additional 0.5º of camber (further improving handling).  Theoretically, this allows for the front camber to be -1.8º (mounts puts completely inwards) to -1.2º (mounts pulled to the outsides).

Adding the Rogue Engineering Fixed Camber plates (E46 M3 version) adds 0.62º of camber, which change the front camber valves to the following:

For those looking for the most handling, having this additional negative camber means quicker times at the track, better turn-in at the auto-x, and getting the most out of the handling of your BMW.  Depending on your BMW model, your alignment results can vary.
