With the M Performance Suspension now hard to find, how could I essentially build my own version of it?

Would the following be a good set-up?

BMW Performance Springs
Bilstein B8
M3 Front Sway bar
M3 Rear Subframe Bushings

Anything else I'm missing that would equal what parts are provided in the performance suspension?
I really just want the car to be a super fun car for the street and back roads.
For a street driven car that should do you very nicely. I've done the Bilsteins, E93 M3 front sway and Subframe inserts (due to cost). Quite satisfied with the results on a twisty road. As mentioned above, a little more negative front camber wouldn't hurt. You can look at the M3 front arms or Dinan fixed camber plates but really your list with some quality rubber will make a great driver.
