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.
Appreciate that, so Front Camber: as negative as i can (i think between -2 - -2.25 or so), Toe: I though I read some say its best to have a tad of toe in or else its a bit of a handful on straights? Rear camber a bit of negative camber and low side of factory spec.
Probably won't get that much camber on the front. The Dinan plates are not adjustable. You just bolt them on and you get what you get. You will be lucky to get -1.5-1.75.

If you are worried about straight line stability, adding a little front toe in can help.
