Why?

e30's have non adjustable camber. You can get tabs which weld to the sub frame and use e39 concentric bolts for adjustment, but normally people do this to lessen camber after lowering

Ah I see im sure the e36 have the adjustable camber setup on the rear and can be further adjusted using camber arms nothing for the e30 apart from welding the plates to the subframe? Hhaha yeah mate the shagged camber and extreme lows are still a thing haha looks lyk its been a few years of good motoring for u buddy :D

I went through all this about 5 years ago until worn tyres and having to negotiate speed bumps sideways all got a bit boring.

There are eccentric bushes for the rear arms that can be used to adjust out the camber caused by lowering. I'm sure they could be used the other way:
