What tire manufacturer and model tires are you using? Makes a difference in wear.
Thanks!

They were at a great price and have a stiffer sidewall than some others in the showroom, so I went for a set. I take my X3 off-pavement, so I wanted the stiffness.
40k on your car seems really good to me. But, since you do so many miles on highways and have outer edge wear, you should check the alignment, more likely toe, as Lee says, and think about tire pressure. Cold pressure at most monthly, alignment annually. Rotate every 5k. They probably can't adjust the camber as much as you were thinking, and anyway, too much negative camber would wear the inside edges. Unless you're looking for a dofferent feel, I wouldnt stray from the specs. Check the BMW forums for your model and see if other owners are running a little more tire pressure than BMW specifies.
Haven't heard of that model. I ran Yokohama AVS on the 2002Ti. Very good tires. I liked them much more, than Pirelli P7's. No longer made. Think ADVAN Neova AD08-R are the closest things, these days.

Wifes Mazda6 CAME with Yokohama A83A ADVAN skins. So far, with only 2400 miles or so, I really like 'em.
If available AND these last properly, I'll replace them with 'same'. which is something I have never done before.
Tire Rack gives 'em a 2.5 on a 5 point scale, with worst marks for the snow category.
Too much is never enough
