Back when I tracked my old car it was always recomended to run a couple of pounds pressure higher in the front than that back. That would help offset the built in understeer in BMWs. I saw that in one of the posts above and thought it was worth repeating. We also ran one side of the front higher than the other if the track had a lot more right hand turns than left. The higher pressure on the side that had the most use.
