for a 1M these are the Factory specs:

Ride Height (front)...........600mm +40mm or -20mm
Ride Height (Rear)...........592mm +40mm or -20mm

Rear Camber...................-1*45' +0*12' or -0*12'
toe (left or right)..............0*05' +0*03' or -0*03'

Front Camber...................-1*20' +0*12' or -0*12'
toe (left or right)...............0*05' +0*03' or -0*03'
total toe..........................0*10' +0*05' or -0*05'

The only difference for the M3 is the following

front camber is..................-1*10' +0*20' or -0*20'


The above numbers are in Degrees and Minutes *= degrees, ' = minutes

everything else is the same..

what you shoud really compare are power to weight / track / total weight etc etc etc.. this is where the magic is..
Sorry, just trying to learn here: how did you search for a 1M with 18" wheels? There are no 1M s with 18" stock like there are also no active steering alternatives, I wonder why you didn't search for 19" for both cars, a bone stock 1M and the M3 w/out active steering or EDC.

Just asking, I am sure you had a technical reason for that choice.
