Just wondering what you guys are running? I am thinking of getting my car aligned properly and would like to have it set up as aggressive as possible for autox.

Its totally stock right now as well.

If you are stock, there won't be a lot you can do.

Camber is what you really need, and unfortunately you have no way to adjust it up front. Camber shims are a quick and easy way to dial in some more negative camber (I'm using a full shim kit plus whatever the H&R Race springs gave me).

A little bit of toe out - 1/8" total toe out should be good in the front.
And some toe in out back - 1/4" toe in.

Should you get a way to adjust camber, -3 to -5 works in the front (I'm running closer to -3, and -1 to -2 works in the back (I'm about -1.5).

What class are you running?

You need a lot negative caber in the front. 2.5 degrees or more. Get a shim kit and the camber corrction bolts from BMW and u should get 2,5.

The shim kit and bolts will take him out of GS.

Just get the toe set and have fun.
