Of course, you can also set the options and load bm in the module with
something like

Preamble
  \newcommand{\hmmax}{0}
  \newcommand{\bmmax}{3}
  \usepackage{bm}
EndPreamble    

See Help>Customization for details.

I think the tip to use a Local Layout to override LyX auto-package
loading might become an FAQ - maybe it should find a place on the wiki.
