The following depends entirely on what type of suspension you're running. Non-Sport? ZSP? H&R Sport? Racing drop? I'm going to assume ZSP for the follow comments.

If the 19x9's are meant to go in front, the offset is too big. You're looking for something more like 35mm. I think most folks are running a 19x8.5 w/35-40mm offset up front w/235 or 245 rubber. You'll need to compensate as the 9" wide especially calls for less (higher number) offset.

The rears should be fine, although the 18mm is at-or-over max. Most are running 19x9.5's with a 22mm offset which is the M3 version (or some go with a 40mm offset and purchase spacers - not sure why - since this only adds unsprung weight that can be avoided by going with a more accurate offset to begin with). With 275 rubber, the 22mm offset is about max. 18mm miiight start to rub, when fully loaded.

Hope this helps.

rear (19x9.5 - 5x120 - 45 - HD)

Yes on the bolt pattern.

What's the 35 and 45 and HD mean?

basically, the e90 will fit an ET of mid to high 30's and low to mid 20's. the more aggressive the offset, the more problems you will run into once you start dropping the car or seat passengers in the rear.
