It really depends on what the particular company considers "M" offset. The majority of the E46 M3 offsets will work on the E90, with a little fender roll to prevent rubbing. The E92 requires a less aggressive offset, so only the more mild M offsets can be considered. It seems like around +30 is the magical range for a nice look, and no rubbing (rolled or not). Going more aggressive +25ish requires a roll.
