wheel alignment specs

Would anybody know the wheel alignment specs for a 2006 320 CDI, inside edge fronts seem to be wearing fast, feel better going armed with some specs to alignment shop.

Most newer alignment racks have a computer that has all the factory specs. Depending on the miles you have and the road conditions it's not uncommon for the front to tow out. Or ML is also in need of an alignment, also it's seem normal that an all-wheel drive will eat ether the inside or outside of the front tires because of the scrub raidius built into them.

Thanks for that Mark, yes i have a little tow out on front wheels (checking with a set of tracking bars) I realize this would make it turn better ,but i would rather have the tyres last longer.
I have just put a new set on front and trying 36psi see how that goes .
I feel 0 static or small toe in would be better!

I think they put a bit of toe out to compensate the suspension deflection when under power, if that's what the specs call for.
