You have two options for 19" DOT legal R compound tires. The inexpensive choice is Toyo R888 at about $300 a tire. The expensive choice is Dunlop Sport Maxx Race at around $600 a tire, which is the OEM equipment on the new GT3.
You're best off passing on the Pirelli P Zero Corsa System and the Pilot Sport Cup (which is shaved to something absurd like 5/32). These two tires cost you more per mile to run than gasoline by a significant margin. It's like $1 per mile driven. $3000 and it lasts 3000 miles.
Most people (me included) do just fine on Pilot Super Sports, which should be the OEM equipment.
The downside of putting race pads on an M3 with drilled rotors is they will make a ton of embarrassing noise on the street, whether you go with Performance Friction or Pagid. Swapping pads is a huge pain the ass and is a big compromise with pad bedding (you never really get a good bond between the rotor and the pad if you always switch them). With the CCB it's one pad for everything.
