Just got myself a 325i touring. I've had an e30 316 before a while back but mostly my bm knowledge is of e36s. Looking for tips or ideas for cheap but effective upgrades for my touring. It's pretty much standard atm. I have already ordered black bonnet and boot badges and looking for black kidney grilles. What's everyone's thoughts/recommendations?

This, get it running and handling as it was when it left the factory, then STOP.

looks pretty tidy so as said above get some 15" bbs on there maybe refresh the suspension with some new bilsteins and h&r or eibach springs, full service, injectors often benefit from a cleaning, those front grills look a bit faded so pop those out and reblack them, maybe fit an IS lip if you can find one.... you could also change the amber indicators to clear/smoke/red ect if thats your sort of thing.
