I have done it to my previous cars. The BMW spec of about -2.0 degrees is a little too extreme for daily driving, in my opinion. My E60s ran -0.8 in the rear, which was the most they could get out of them. The difference in handling was not noticeable, however, the difference in tire wear was EXTREME. I easily got double the miles out of my rear tires than I did with spec camber. That is saying something, because when you go to 20" or 21" wheels tires become much more expensive and have much shorter warranty periods. Unless you have buckets of cash sitting around for replacement tires, definitely get rid of as much camber as possible. Unless you track your car every weekend, you won't notice.
