Thanks!
In regards to suspension settings. I would say the following...

Front:
Camber = -2.5 to -2.8, stock is -1.3
Total Toe = 0.00 to 0.10 - some are running 0.00, stock is 0.16. You might want to stay a little conservative and take a smaller step like 0.10.

Rear:
Camber = -1.8 to max of -2.0, stock is -1.8/-1.6
Total Toe = Seeing specs in this forum with 0.16 to 0.20, which is very aggressive. My shops system pulled 0.26 from BMW. I am still working on validating the US specs as my M2 had 0.21 stock. The alignment was very out of wack all around stock.

Google the benefits of corner balancing. Most shops will include the corner balance/weighting as part of the alignment. RRT, where I go, charges $175 for a "aggressive alignment" that includes corner balancing.
