The glaive can reach further, but the range of booming blade is still only one square (5ft for us. You say 3m reach on the glaive, so I wonder if maybe you have an international PHB)
Short answer is no since Booming blade has a range of 5' not 10'(3m). You CAN use the glaive if you make an attack within 5' (~1.5m)
"You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you."
It used to be that the Spell Sniper feat would work with booming blade to give it a 10' range.
Spell Sniper: "When you cast a spell that requires you to make an attack roll, the spell’s range is doubled."
Booming blade requires an attack roll (even if it is a weapon attack) so it should qualify. However, the range of booming blade is Self(5' radius) and interpreting this depends on the DM since a range of Self can't be doubled but a range of 5' can be doubled and the spell lists both. So it is a DM call as to whether Spell Sniper still works with booming blade.
Yes you can use booming blade with a glaive since it's a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp. Even if it has reach, you still brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you as the spell say though.

Guys, can i use the booming blade with glaive, in 3m atack?
I don't understand if it's the weapon that is enchanted, because the description speaks for "Self"
I thought of the Polearm Master with War Caster combo, and give the trick in 3m, forcing the target to stop, or take extra damage for walking...

David laid it out pretty well. The glaive can reach the enemy that far away, but the spell cannot.
