What to do??

I finally sold my RAC Monolite RG4's from my E46 M3 so I have a bit of a fund started. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I should invest in first but I thought it would be fun to get your opinion. Part of my problem is that this car is so new that there is not that much info on parts. Here's what I'm thinking of doing (in this order).

1) Suspension:

I am leaning towards TC Kline because that's what I've got on my M3 (variation at least) and I want to be able to adjust the camber and set it correctly. If I'm going with the coilovers, I will do UUC swaybars front/rear at the same time.

2) Wheels:

Another tough on since there are not many out yet and not much to compare with, but I'm leaning towards 19" forgelines (stormtrooper edition) or wait for the Breytons to come in a 19" fitment.

3) Cosmetic mods:

CF trunk lip, Diffuser, Mirror Covers, and a front lip when one comes available.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on if I should do these in a different order. I think if I do these things I will be happy enough with the 135 that I can mentally part with my M3 that I'm trying to sell.

I'm going with a TC Kline setup and UUC sway's but I'm either getting LTW5's or the new OZ's that Gil mentioned, in a 17".
