I think the important point here is that Performance parts, at least here in the UK, have to be fitted at the dealer and not during the build. This means owners are left with the original parts to either sell on themselves or keep to swap out when they sell the car on. I would assume that a 'personalisation program' would mean parts are fitted during the build and are therefore cheaper than when retrofitted from the Performance catalogue.
If this does actually happen then at least it shows that BMW recognise what has happened to the M3 over the years, and that it's customers still want a lighter, nimbler (and practical) performance car. Not knocking the M3 btw because I'd love one, but it's not like the E30 that I always lusted after in my younger days!
