Recently set -3 front and -2 rear, with the front slightly toe out...
Havent taken the car to track yet with this newly set up specs but so far on a slightly aggressive road driving, it's incredibly sharp.

Default Track set up Track only??

If you use that track set up and you drive the car mainly on the track it will not necessarily wear on the inside edge of the rear tires. I thought that was only true if you drove it on the street and were not compressing the suspension in a corner. If you are tracking the car the track set up should help deliver even wear. True?

Yep
Uneven wears on track set ups tend to occur alot faster if u drive alot more on highways as part of your daily driving.
On combined normal street driving with lots of corners plus not so long stretch of highways, I wouldnt expect much unevenness.

I have yet to monitor this on my own car but in my previous E46M3....all tires were very even despite having clocked more than 10,000kms...

True for the rears - but the front at only -2 will not be enough for even wear - you will need to be in the -3 area maybe higher for track only use.
