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.

Are you planning on any track days? or just a daily fun car?
Those rear subframe bushings.....so much comes off the rear, may make more sense to save for a locking diff and rear sway bar.
Suspension wise....there are so many options, i went KW V3 and it transformed the car. Granted it felt strange at first, but that is because the KW dealer who installed them set them up strangely (made the rear seriously stiffer than the front). Went to KW"out of the box" settings and it is miles better, that is the beauty of coil overy, within minutes one can adjust to the needs.
Take a look at eibach sway bars, if i am not mistaken they are the same as M3 ones in diameter but significantly cheaper and come with bushings.
