4. Stainless steel brake lines.
5. The highest temp race pads available RS-15 or Turner race pads or the like.

I agree with you on piston count. I think most of the 6-piston bbk out there are overkill for a car like the M3.
I still believe if you are going to do some serious tracking with your M3 a brake upgrade is a good idea, like the Performance Friction kit.
Most people would get away with pad upgrade, stainless lines, motul fluid, etc.
