Don't think so, the 7 series will be a 5-stud, the E30 will be a 4 stud. The M3 sometimes came with 16" BBS cross spokes, worth trying to find some 'proper' ones.
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring

The E30 M3 is 5 stud as is the E38, so they will bolt up. The only issue would be the offset and wheel width.

The E30 M3 has 7.5x16, with ET27 offset (the 7x15s are ET24 or ET30 :mad: )
The E38 has 8x16s with ET23.

Not sure how the width and offset will match up to the M3 though.
