So if you have a high negative camber for track use and the toe-in is set as desired then if you adjust the camber for street use then the toe-in will be thrown off for street use. Because of this I think it's common to set a compromise camber and toe-in and not adjust the camber frequently.

I won't claim to be more knowledgeable, far from it, but this description is consistent with experiences. My mechanic did an alignment for me in the past to attempt to have both street and track setups, marking both the camber plates and whatever it is that used to adjust toe. The impact to toe with a small change in camber was pretty significant, though this was not my M2 so YMMV. It proved to be such a hassle that I just ran -2.5 camber all year round and had absolutely no significant issue with excessive tire wear.
