Tracking has nothing to do with bushes; it's set with the steering tie rods. To set tracking you modify the "toe" angle.

I imagine the intended question is whether to set the toe according to standard specification or M3 specification if you are using the M3 offset bushes.

I would also be interested in knowing the answer to that

One is 17' +/- 5' and the other is 18' +/- 5', so I don't think it'll make any practical difference.

According to the 1994 Autodata book I looked in for mine, the toe is the same for all E30's except the iX. 2mm toe in, + or - 1.
