I've had an e30M3, e46 330i ZHP, e40 M3, and NONE of them ever wore out the outside of a tire like this car. Also, none of them had freaky tire clunking when reversing in a tight turn. Something just isn't right. Has anyone found a better suspension setup that perhaps puts less stress on the front components and perhaps reduces this clicking?

Both my front tires were quite worn on the outer shoulder. I attributed it to the alignment being off, but when I had it checked, only the right side was off, the left was near perfect.
I've read about the clunking when reversing, but either mine doesn't do it, or, I don't know what to listen for. Still good here on the clicking though, haven't heard it since.
