On a 320i? Absolutely no point in doing so.

Best idea is to have your current ones properly cleaned and rebuilt by Injectortune.

The theory is sound, but without increasing the intake and exhaust flow there's little point. The 320 is a strangled engine, so unless you fit a six branch manifold and a big bore throttle you won't see any benefit; you'll just be flooding the engine with fuel. And if you were going to do all that work, it would be cheaper just to fit a whole 325 engine.

No problem. In terms of remap there's a seller of chips on here called Speedtouch; he offers chips to give your 320 a mild or wild performance upgrade, depending on the age of the car (needs to be post 1987, IIRC)
