The exhaust alone gives 20 - 25 wheel HP from what I have seen. Then there are the stroker and supercharger option, which might be pricey, but still make it very fast.
Not close to your GT500, but still a far cry from 10 - 15 wheel HP.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that it is impossible to make significant gains, I'm only saying that the normal upgrades I have seen gives you almost nothing for your money.
Just look at the Dinan website.
High Flow Intake for
$850 = 8hp and 5tq

High Flow Throttle Bodies for
$2300 = 7hp and 5tq

Free Flow Exhaust for
$2300 = 6hp and 5tq

The only thing they offer that will increase your HP and TQ significantly will be a whole new engine for about $23,000 which makes no sense at all.
I have not seen anything else yet so please let me know as I'm very new to the BMW scene. I know this is a very new M3 so it usually takes some time for the aftermarket scene to catch up.
Thanks...
