On the second photo, the front could be a hair lower. However, the other pics the front looks fine. I am not sure why it seems that way?

Leave it. its too low and will not align properly anywayz.
for the tires, especailly the rear they will be toast on the inside with your car that low no matter what you do.

if you like the slammed look I would lower it a hair in the front.
But to most it will look super low already.
If you dont mind spending about $600 for both, KMAC makes a front and rear camber kit that supposedly adjusts way more than stock extentsion camber bolts and some of the some e46 bmw and w203 guys have had success with them.

Another question do you always drive in ABC sport mode or just regular? Doesn't seem to have enough suspension movement space anymore if you go over bumps...

i usually drive it with abc sport on but my pump is on its way out...i have the infamous humming under acceleration...so i dont have it on currently....the actually rides just fine...ive been over real big dips without a problem at highway speeds...it clears speed bumps just fine too...im happy with the height...i would have gone lower but john (adjustable air ride) he said dont go any lower it wont look good...i took his word for it...he adjusted em for me in like 5 mins....real good guy
