Im looking for a good starting point for street & track alignment that works well with the M3 and i am open to suggestions. I also wanted to know what you guys are running for bump and rebound? I will be running a square 275 setup at the track btw. The car is driven on the street but its not my daily driver, i want to start with an alignment setting that wont be so hard on the street setup and not be terribly bad for side wear on the track setup, basically a good intermediate point and i thought you guys might have some suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Good luck!
On the E9x platform, you do not need to run -3.0* of front camber or -2.0* of rear camber.

Multiple days of track testing with different pyrometers, shows that -2.6* of camber up front and -1.8* of camber out back is what the car prefers the most with a 275 square tire setup and the best way to optimize contact patch. This will of course change and vary with different tire setups (square vs. non square). But based on your question on what the car does best with on a 275 square setup my recommendation would be the following for you:

FRONT:
-2.6* Camber per side
1/64" Toe IN per side

REAR:
-1.8* Camber per side
I cannot make a rear toe recommendation for you as I do not know the vehicle ride height. This will vary depending on height setup as the height selected will affect rear geometry and different settings will have to be applied.
