Ah, ok. If nobody chimes in, the only way to know might be to install one and check your camber afterwards. Fortunately they're not too hard to install.

With the E90, going with M3 lower control arms was a thing. I'm not an F10 expert, but I've seen no threads on upgrading to M5 suspension parts (except sway bars).

No trouble!

FYI, if you feel the need to add negative camber to the front of your F10, there are -0.5 degree upper control arms available. I installed Delphi (I think) -0.5 uppers on my car to tuck wide tires under the fenders and add a little front end bite.
