i use eibach/SPC adjustable top mounts on my koni's & custom springs,
not a cheap options but works for me, there's plenty of adjustable top mounts out there, it all comes down to budget really.

if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Camber plates are illegal here on road cars.
There are two legal options in Germany (just incase you have issues with MOT).
Option 1: Install camber spring plates, those bring +/- 0.5 camber and usually come with a quality material certificate for MOT/TÜV and are legal, they would add around 12mm height to the front end.
Option 2: Install the OE BMW Offset/camber correcting strut mounts. They also bring +/- 0.5 camber but are a dealership/BMW part only and cost a crazy €150 each (so €300) but are 100% legal and would not raise the front end.
Here is what a local German company manufactures, the camber plates:

As i said, they come with a manufacturing and quality certificate for TV registration (basically making these legal) and fit on stock struts/mounts.
