Was hoping over time it would be turn key but so far doesn't seem so.

Wow. The full details would be far greater than what I'm about to describe, but here's a high level list of things you'd have to procure to accomplish what you say.
1) 135 sedan
2) E9x M3 donor car for running gear, suspension and hydraulic power steering
3) bespoke 1M Getrag transmission (from manufacturer or 1M donor)
4) 1M turbos and engine management software (unclear to me what needed)
5) 1M body panels (from manufacturer or 1M donor)
6) 1M interior (from manufacturer or 1M donor)
I suppose you could skip 5 & 6 if you wanted a sleeper and only wanted the performance elements.
Good luck. Keep all the receipts and a log of hours spent so you can share with the group afterwards.
