It's just a clean installs and convienent that the e36 works, but you're fine cutting down the e9x one as well.
Are you aware that the factory E9x M3 bump stops are designed to make contact on a regular basis and progressively get stiffer with travel? Cutting the narrow end of the E9x bump stop will probably cause an abrupt jolt upon impact. Cutting the wide end may not provide enough protection for the strut.
