Optimal Toe/Camber Config. For RWD?

I have a 2011 BMW 528i. From the factory it s set up with positive camber in the front axle and a lot of negative in the rear and this causes understeer, or at least a tendency for the front axle to push around most corners. I am thinking of tuning the front camber to -1.5 (negative) to match roughly whatever camber is in the rear. Then, perhaps I am thinking of tuning just a touch of negative toe on the front axle to help with turn in. This is for a spirited daily driver, street use. Any suggestions or information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

    Understeer is what saves your neck when you plunge toward a wall; if you think you're so good a driver that this can never happen to you, well, it was nice knowing you.
