The correct answer to getting a self timer for an M, is not to buy some tacky accessory that ruins the classical lines of such a masterpiece. Oh no. The polite thing to do is buy another M that does have a self timer. And if you already have one, get a different one with a self timer.
My M3 has a self timer, but I doubt I have used it more than half a dozen times in over 50 years!
If you use one of these screw in to cable release socket gadgets, be very careful with adjustment. The clockwork mech pushes the pin relentlessly in, and if it hoes too far might wreck the innards, was a source of repair income when I worked in a shop when these things were common. I certainly wouldn't screw one into a really good camera.
