Is my post-alignment specs good? Need expert eyes (attached report)

Hi all,
First post on these forums..

Needed someone to look at my attached post-Alignment report. I went to a small mechanic shop that performed the alignment for $80. I went for alignment because the dealership and another mechanic shop had reported the car was steering to the right. I also noticed as I was having to tilt the steering slight counter-clockwise on freeway to keep it straight.

I am a bit paranoid so attaching report if someone can look at and tell me it looks OK. Mechanic made some adjustment. I drove it couple miles and still feel is slightly steers to right but it could be me little paranoid that they didn't do a professional job.

Please see the attachment AFTER the alignment and let me know if it looks OK.

2016 BMW 328i Base w/ M Sport Package. 45k miles.


Little background:
BMW certified mechanic shop told me I have a tie rod issue. I went to other mechanics and they called it BS and that it is normal wear and just told me to get an alignment.

Looks fine to me for a "factory type" alignment. I'm surprised you have such even camber across the front (good thing). Normally it differs a bit.

As FaRKle! says, looks fine.

Some other things which would be worth checking :

- tyre pressures with an accurate gauge
- tyres for any signs of abnormal wear
- brake operation, i.e. binding
