I have a street/occasional track 328i and am going thru the same process as you.

With coilovers you should have a big selections of spring rates to play with.

I have just a tad over(under?) -2° of neg front camber(have new plates sitting in a box... looking for -2.5° or more(less?)). Rear camber is pretty tame... -1.7° IIRC

0" toe front/1/8" total toe rear. Might try for 1/16" total rear toe next alignment. I think 0° rear toe might be a little too squirrelly.
I am at -3.5° camber at the front and -2.0° at the rear. I might get either the H&R or the M3 RSB.
