Congrats, sounds like it will be a fun and quick track car. Replace the control arm bushing with the e36 M3 ones. Replace motor and trans mounts. Diff if needed. Have the subframe/RTA bushings been done? If not those will definitely need replaced. ATE Blue is no longer offered due to US regs. But any quality DOT4 will suffice.

As for M52, if you plan on stripping down to block I would recommend making a 3.0 stroker. This is done by using the M54 rotating assembly if I remember correctly. There are various builds of using that combo online. It's been called the poor mans S50 but nothing is really cheap for these motors. Or keep it 2.8 and do some head work for the revs.
