These are the BMW recommended settings for the M135i so yes, stock.

The relative lack of caster and camber is how it feels. I had a 3 litre Legacy with similar stock settings - managing to increase castor and get -1.75 deg front camber made a huge difference to the sense that the front end was biting on turn-in, not to mention tyre wear.

I'd eventually like to find out how to do something similar to my 1er.
