Like ImSort0fABigDeal said, negative camber is set by BMW for improved handling. If you lower your car... you will need a camber kit to fix the camber in the front, as there is no adjustment for camber in the front. The rears are no problem. I've attached the printout of my alignment specs when I got it done. Hope it helps.

The above statement is only true if they are directional tires. Unidirectional and asymmetrical tires are side specific and if installed in the wrong position, the tire will not perform its intended function. However, no damage or premature wear to the tires will result.
