I would roughly estimate that a primary cat delete, pulleys, intake, and a proper tune (Epic, Evolve, ESS, or BPM) would yield roughly 40-50+whp.

This ^ ^. Flip knows what he is talking about probably better than most here.
Here's my 2cents: 1) Because torque is lacking in the mid-range, a catless mid-pipe will do wonders in increasing torque from just off-idle and through the mid-range (where the M3 needs it) all the way to redline; 2) get a tune which increasing redline to 8,600-8,700. Start with these two things...and my guess is that you won't care about your dyno number. Your car will FEEL much faster and WILL be much faster.
