Yes, all of that -.6° of static camber in the front of any McStrut equipped BMW (that would be all BMWs worth racing) is going to be lost when cornering on even street tires, much less R compounds. Oh the joys of Stock class racing... :wink:

For Street Prepared and Street Touring I'm going to go ahead and guesstimate that -3.5° to -4° front camber will be the goal (because that range works on so many other, similar BMWs). That means camber plates are in order, and this is usually the single most helpful upgrade on any BMW that is autocrossed, road raced or tracked.
