See Dackelone's comment above. He is right ...
I agree. Another option if you must make a change would be to consider a good set of dampers, like Koni Sports. Those alone would improve the ride and handling if you switch to non runflats. The biggest drawback to replacing the sub frame bushings is in my opinion is the labor involved. That's why I put off doing it for so long.

I also believe that adding an M3 FSB and M3 control arms and tension rods really improves the way the car feels, especially with non runflat tires. Adding the other M3 suspension parts would then just be icing on the cake if you decide to do them later.
