Currently have a 99 M3 Coupe. Besides suspension and reinforcement. What would I need to pull off 500whp/tq and still have a daily drivable car?

Ive noticed many guys with turbos have dyno graphs that aren't so smooth while others look like a marble could role backwards on the graph (twinscrew for example)... is this because they are pushing the turbos to there limits and are getting power spikes (I don't know, I am new to the FI)

500 rwhp/rwtq can be made a lot of different ways. You can do with stock internals or built internals. Since you're new to FI I'm guessing that you aren't planning on doing it yourself. You should know that you will likely spend as much if not more on the build as you did for the cost of the car.

At a minimum I would go with a built differential and of course a good clutch (UUC or CM). If you plan to drag race you should consider a driveshaft and axles. If you want to go all out, go with a built motor too.
