I wonder why people keep linking this to street stuff. No you cant use these seats in your street car.

No you cant retrofit the brake on your street car, they're made for racing purpose. The fender flares have a purpose, wider track for better handling and to accomodate wider tires, its useless on your street car you're not going to turn any faster at the street light. No the M2 fenders will no look like that. 
Think M3 GT4, think GT3 cup car, think Mercedes SLS GT3; but at a discount. But please quit dreaming about what this means for the next street car or WTV. BMW sees Porsche is doing well with their custommer racing programme and how is positively affects car sales and image. BMW is hoping to do something similar. They started slowly with the E46 motosport shell, then the E90 320 touring car, the Z4 GT3, the M3 GT4. I think this is going to be their best move yet for a true custommer racing programme.
the ordering guide is online btw.
they will even hace a series, a little like the Porsche GT3 CUP or the Ferrari Challenge.

I'd have to disagree with some of what you said. The E30 M3 had a wide body kit on it from factory and it is arguably the most iconic M3 to date. Many cars are coming out with more sportier seats because club racing on the track is at an all time high. Plus if they are talking about an M2 this is a true M model not a regular 2 series with an M badge on it. The target audience is very different. Of course the roll cage and with the adverts all over the car will never reach showroom floor, but they have and still do sell BMW Motorsport seats separately as an accessory right now and none of this helps turning faster at the light as you mentioned.
