Get white shoe polish and put marks on the sides of your tires to see how far they are rolling over.

Bring a portable compressor and adjust pressure as needed.. Fronts will need more than rears by a good margin.

I would suggest you start with 34 all the way around --cold--as a base line and see where you end up after some hot laps. Most of my tires seem to settle in around 42 after hot lapping. It will depend ultimately on the track configuration, track temps and how hard you are pushing. You can also ask regulars at the particular track who may know your tires or similar ones and how they work where you are. I can tell you that almost everyone you talk to will have a slightly different suggestion.

On my regular C63, I started off around 35/36 cold to achieve a target of around 42 hot in the front. This depends on tires, track temp, etc. As Merc63 pointed out, bring chalk and mark your tires to see if you are rolling over too much. The car is heavy so I find it liked a little more pressure than some cars. My E36, for example, likes 35 hot at the track.
