I have 235/45x17 tires on my e34, and after a year I see that my front tires have an uneven wear - they both wear about the same ammount on the inside. The car goes straight, have been changed everything that looked a bit suspicious on the front suspension and steering, the rear tire wear is even on the inside and on the outside.
The rims are Borbet 17" x 8J /20 (hope I wrote it right).

Is it normal? Any ideas?

Nope, since I have this one for about 2 years, and it runs great. As much as I know on e34's only toe could be adjusted on front wheels ... do you think it would help? Could it be from badly adjusted toe-angle and that I could not notice it in driving ?

well, these cars usually wear the outside of the front tires and the insides on the rears.
