BMW Euro E36 M3 Upgrades?

I own a Euro spec E36 M3. As you may or may not know, these vehicles have a few differences from the North American version. I cannot find upgrades ANYWHERE for this vehicle. I have been searching for weeks, and I can't find anything. Does anybody know where I can find some performance upgrades for this car? Such as exhaust, intake, chips, and possibly a supercharger?
Thanks

    Which model year? If you have the earlier 286hp S50B30 3 litre engine, then the GT/S50B32 intake runners are a straightforward upgrade. You can also upgrade to the GT cams, software and oil pan (sump).

    Intake runners:
    (2) 13 54 1 404 637 Cylinder 1, 3
    (1) 13 54 1 404 638 Cylinder 5
    (3) 13 54 1 404 639 Cylinder 2, 4, 6

    Cams
    (11-31-1-404-660) Intake Cam
    (11-31-1-404-662) Exhaust Cam

    An exhaust from a company like Supersprint will also likely offer some improvement, or at least a weight reduction.

    If you have the 3.2 litre S50B32 upgrades are still possible, but the engine is already putting out over 100hp per litre, and at that point, the returns on any "upgrades" are going to be pretty minimal for a street motor, and while they might produce better numbers, will begin to compromise driveability.

    what country are you based?
    there are hundreds of upgrades for an E36 M3.
    normal aftermarket parts can be bought from various websites/companies, you can even find most on ebay.
    i have a scorpion exhaust, and aftermarket lowering springs in my m3, these can be bought online no problems.
