My estimate on a M3 will be along those prices:

M3 S50B30 - 2000-2500GBP (-500GBP for interior)
Coilovers - 600GBP
Rear camber arms - 100GBP
Poly bushing - 180GBP
X-Brace - 40GBP
Strut braces - 30+30GBP
Welded 188 open diff - 30GBP
Straight pipe exhaust - 20GBP (it's worth going single pipe)
Air filter - 40GBP
2 bucket seats - 100GBP (or 100 each for a better one)
Hydraulic handbrake - 50GBP
Steering rack spacers - 20GBP
Decent offset wheels - 200GBP

With this modifications you got yourself a drift ready car for about 3500GBP with the important parts fitted. Of course you can increase this budget more with a chip, stabilizer bars, adjustable top mounts, steering wheel, short shifter, brake hoses and pads, and so on. One thing you won't need to really touch on a M3 is the power. You can maybe try to make it as much responsive as you can (chip helps).
