KW HAS replacement springs installed

Completed the KW HAS + wheel spacers installation last night.
Cosmetically, the car looks a lot better; the dreaded front wheel gap has been eliminated! 😊
IMHO, this is how the car should come from the factory.

Ride-wise, it feels much more compliant and less "jumpy" over the road imperfections.
It's definitely better than stock, but it still feels a bit "nervous", considering I am comparing it with the W212 E63S...guess it's in the BMW character.

Will drive for a week to let the new springs settle and do the proper alignment.
It looks like both the toe and camber can be adjusted in the rear, but only the toe in the front.
Any suggestions on how to adjust the camber in the front?

Thank you, all!

Fix for front chamber is new upper control arms. I believe it was from the M50i and might be the same as used on the x7. There's a thread with part numbers floating around

The M50i arms aren’t as beefy as the X5M arms so just be aware.

Looks sharp.

Concerning the camber; I couldn’t get more than 9k miles out of rears and 12k miles out of the fronts on our previous stock F95, so I never stressed the camber. I figured it was the price to pay for a cool ass car.
