245/35 up front seems way too big (i had it when i first got my oem 19s). I think your car will ride/look better with 235/265 combo on zcp wheels. If not best bet is to go with stock size

Re: What are your thoughts on this color for the M?

it actually looks great in that picture

pretty sure it won't look as good in person or in an e46. Our cars doesn't have the modern lines to pull off a matte/satin finish.
