I won't quote you on those charts, but my point is the front tire is the problem on these cars. I'm running 225f and 235r zII's, I have no problem agreeing with you on a 255 rsIII being sufficient. I have had two e90's and an e82 and I can tell you, even with my limited driving knowledge and ability, the understeer is terrible, and if I had planned on keeping my car I would definitely put more rubber up front at almost any cost. Besides wouldn't it have been better or even cheaper to have a machine shop grind you down to the correct offsets?

I commend your choice of tires and I understand the situation, that BMW gave us compact car sized wheels on a 300hp vehicle so our choices for wheels are limited. I'm actually jealous, I would love to be able to at least get a 235 up front.
Not sure if serious........
