Let us know what toe settings did this! I'd set it at zero toe up front and a smidge at the rear (least toe within specs). You don't need a lot of rear toe with the E90 suspension.

I have always run with slight toe in. Never had toe-out on my car, so that just could not have been the issue for me.

This is why I started changing camber between street and track. Once I did that, I never had any more issues with wearing the street tires too quickly.

I know Longboarder doesn't like to do those kinds of tech things to his car, but for me, it was worthwhile.
Gentlemen,

Everybody is correct! The issue is that I'm running stock suspension and the high neg camber on the street was causing toe while driving. Sounds weird but toe as the car stands still checking the alignment was zero. But the soft stock bushings causes deflection (exacerbated with the high initial camber) anytime the suspension is loaded up which occurs all the time even in daily driving.

So I'm back to -1.8 F camber until the solid bushings come in.
