No adjustment with standard parts. To increase the caster angle you would have to move the ball joint forward, or the upper strut attachment rearward. With the standard 3 slots in the fenders there isn't a great deal of adjustment possible, although I have heard of folks enlarging the slots to get more adjustment. However, if the caster is only off "slightly", then I doubt that's the problem. Have you tried swapping tires side-to-side?

BTW - what do they train BMW's to do at your facility?
