No.

The dual ball-joint cars do not require any additional caster. Don't be sucked into thinking that what was good for previous designs is correct for the current design. The E36 is dying for more caster, and the E46 is only a touch better than the E36. But the E9x and more recent models have been great and don't need any more.

To elaborate on it a little further, we can't accomplish what you are asking for with another set of bolts around the perimeter. There is also an M10 stud inside the perimeter that attaches to the firewall brace. Reclocking the plate would move that stud away from the brace. We could add another hole for that stud, but it would be right where the upper bearing holder wants to travel. So it would be very difficult to do what you are asking.
