The reading you have is in degrees and minutes, the figures you wanted are decimal. 1degree 42' is 1.7 degrees of negative camber. As the photo suggests the pins have not been removed. If you remoe these you'll easily be able to equal your front camber.

Thank you Ben and BMsport.

I think I understand the difference between decimal and minute reading. Would I be right in saying for example. 30' = 0.6 degree 45 = 0.9degree?

So,
2deg10' = 2.2 degree
1deg42 = 1.7 degree

Isn't 0.5 degree too much difference to have between sides?

If I try fix this myself, will it totally mess up the geo or just slightly? Id just be guesstimating by looking at the markings on the strut brace.

60minutes = 1 Degree so 30minutes = 0.5 degree

Well if BMW tolerance is +/- 45minutes then it is in factory tolerance, how ever, removing the pin, you should be able to reduce the difference and equal the front camber.
