It's well documented that stock 1ers of all years can only achieve a max camber of around -0.5 per side. That's all multiple shops in my area could get out of my stock 2012. You need camber plates and M3 LCAs to get anywhere near -1.5. No way a dealer could or would get you there, particularly if you didn't ask for max camber. Even if they could get you that much, the alignment machine would flag that as being out of the accepted range and the tech would adjust it back down.
