From my experience...the added bounciness will be substantial. I tried to run H&R sports on my M3 with the OEM shocks...I lasted only a few months before I couldn't take it anymore. The car felt absolutely terrible over the smallest bumps and never felt planted to the road. I bought some Koni Yellows...the difference was night and day.

For the e46 M3, the Eibach Pro-Kits are supposed to be better matched with the OEM shocks. I assume they would also be better matched for the e90 OEM shocks as well. He might want to consider those instead.
