Put the front at whatever you feel comfortable with tire-wear wise and consider reducing rear neg camber.

Stock the car has a lot more rear neg camber than front to induce understeer. Typical for street cars cuz liability.
I would disagree.

Front camber, you are going to get what you get. Rear camber I would set it around -1.75, and as little toe in as you can and still stay within factory specs, it will be very close to zero, but not quite zero. Then set front to zero toe.

Camber does not wear out tires, toe does.

I run similar specs on my own, but run -2.2 in the rear, as I also have M3 arms which makes my front camber -2.0. I run zero toe in front, and just a hint of toe in, in the rear, 0.04 deg. It wanders a bit on ruts, but handles well, and I still get perfectly even tire wear.

FYI, I am a BMW alignment tech.
