Well the no-name brand I got from
www.ezaccessory.com didn't work.

I guess I didn't read the fine print, which states:
These adapters can be used on the following BMW
5 Series (97-on)
6 Series (04-on)
M5 (01-on)
I guess the hub-contour height is a little taller in the 3 series, so the the receptacle on these spacers aren't deep enough to accept it. The spacers will float about 1-2mm off the surface.
Also, the 45mm bolts I got from ezaccessories.com are very heavy... they have a HUGE chrome-plated head. I guess if I had bling bling wheels and wanted bolts that stick out, these would be it...
Anyway, they all seem to be good quality parts. See attachment of the wheel spacers and bolts below. I will have to see if I can return them.
So I ran down to Wheel Power and picked up a set of H&R Wheel Spacers and 45mm bolts with standard heads. Got them installed at a tire shop for $25 too, and I'm happy with the results!
