Could you please write in english, it is way easier to understand.
It looks like your front axle might be damaged. Possibly one of your suspension rod bearings is worn out.
-
hi
right wheel leaning inwards=negativ camber
left wheel almost perfect uprightstrangely all looks good from under the car
-
It is nearly impossible to see worn out bearings when the parts are still mounted to the car. Can you feel any movement when you try to move the wheel with your hands?
And can you please provide some information about the car? Year, engine etc.?

e39 523 1999
wheel bearing ok no play
difference is 2 cm from wheel edge to "ruler" (spirit)
wheel leaning inwards
left side 1,5 cm
right side 3,5 cmright font wheels is like this \

Since the E39 has no adjustable screws at the front axle, it is most likely one of these parts which is broken:
Part 4 or part 11 in this picture or the strut bearing, since it is a McPherson suspension, might be possible, too.
If it is not one of these three, you might have bigger problems, like a broken strut carrier or incorrect chassis geometry. But that is not very likely without an accident.
The linked parts are quite easy to change and not very expensive (if you buy aftermarket parts - but choose a good manufacturer like Lemförder or TRW, please do not take cheap ones and do not take Meyle - even though they have a good reputation along other BMW-Models like E36 and E46, they are no good at E39-parts).
And please change both sides, since the other ones would not be in better conditions.Parts are:

-> 313€ in parts + 17€ shipping to sweden (I guess that is where you are from?), but maybe you have a cheaper shop up there. This is one of the cheapest here in germany. -
well both 4 and 11 are fine
the culprit have to be nr 11 see link

somehow its not into correct position, and why i dont know
-
The lower link could be for the wrong car! If that one is too long you'd get exactly this result with the wheel leaning outward at the bottom. Maybe it is for a E38 instead of a E39?
Do a measurement to see wether both are equally long.
There might also be manufacturer's name and number cast on the rod. Usually those numbers match (given both are of the same brand) save the last one or two digits. So the left strut might e.g. end in -10 and the right strut in -11.
-
hmmm
that would maybe make sense
i will do some measure
its a clue anyway
thank you -
-
no
nr 2 the wheel carrier
http://bmwfans.info/parts-cata…ut_carrier_wheel_bearing/good theory from member michaelXXLF also
i have to check that one -
If that one is broken you must have had any kind of impact on the wheel. That does not happen easily.
-
If the wheel carrier breaks in such a way as to produce said result, you wouldn't be able to drive any longer.
-
well i was thinking that strut was somehow not seated correctly i carrier causing \
but having the car on a stand and checking
i cant see anyting wrong
but wheel clearly \i will put car on stand this weekend and measure length of ower link
yes this is really strange i know
-
well i was thinking that strut was somehow not seated correctly i carrier causing \
Not possible.
-
Not possible.
surely that is possible
When the right and left sides have been reversed.You need strength but it works.
@VincentVega knows that it works.
-
OK, but would that change the camber in such a way?
The original question was whether the strut can be seated in a wrong position in the carrier. As there is only one place to seat it, no, it cannot be seated incorrectly - given it is the correct strut!

I was counting the time till this pops up
But yeah, that does not cause that much camber. It creates a bigger toe-in than normal.
But may it be possible to switch the mounting holes of the two rods? I doubt it, but never say no...
