tightening up a 330i suggestions

Hi guys
recently bought a 2005 e90 330i (123000km) here in Oz.
Ive had quite a few bmws and the engine is a cracker, but its a little rattly and quite frankly I would like to tighten up the suspension and steering. Steering is quite heavy (although I recently replaced front tyres and alignment issues which really helped... still too heavy though), and there is a small whine when turning the wheel at low speeds???
So Im thinking about replacing the rotors/pads (due anyway), maybe bearings, and new bushes and perhaps koni shocks. Would I need to replace springs as well. Steering components might need to belooked at too
ANY advice is welcolme gents
I want this car to drive like a BMW should!!!

heavy steering is normal.
whining is steering might be steering pump on it's way out or it also can be normal.

yeah I know bmws have heavy steering, but this is more than my 320d e90 sport. Is whining normal from the steering??
