Hey Martin,
I was on your flickr feed and saw this beauty of a shot you didn't post. I hope you don't mind but I did a little photoshop to it to bring it out and cleaned up the tire sidewall a bit as well. Car looks incredible!

Looks great Andrew. I'm just cutting my teeth on post processing and still learning photo fundamentals. I did however purchase a new lens recently and will arrive soon and can't wait to try it out. 70-200mm f2.8 on they way.

Last Thursday I had the camber pivot bearings replaced with the OE option for the fronts as I was rubbing on large dips at speeds above 30 mph. Details on these can be found in this thread (OE option for more negative camber).
Being xDrive, part numbers are 31-21-6-856-535 left and 31-21-6-856-536 right which I purchased from ECS Tuning as they provided me the fastest delivery option. Install took a few hours and my final camber is -1.1 with my fender to ground measurement at ~25.75" (65.5cm). Driving the same routes, I haven't encountered any rubbing thus far, though I also haven't really tested it. If I do rub again, I don't think it will necessarily be on the fender lip as much as it will be joint between the fender and the bumper. I see that the edge is already deformed near the bolt, so if it does continue I'll have to see how to add some clearance. The camber pivot bearing isn't a inexpensive fix and there are other option like camber plates for those with certain coilovers but figured I'd share my results. Steering feel in my opinion has tightened up and really like the way the car responds now. For reference my toe on both sides is 0.12 as well. Here are some more pics from the other night.

But then I'd have to hide the dead hookers in my trunk and the ski box rinses out much easier.
I actually like the way this box looks and fits on to the F31. I looked at many of the options and this fit the bill as my 4Runner fits in to the garage with it on, and the intention is to have the 4Runner have it most of the time. I need to install a storage system/carrier in the garage where the box will be lifted off and stored up against the ceiling and then it can be installed only when needed.
