It really depends on what you want to do with the car.

Low mileage, well maintained versions of the E36 M3's are starting to appreciate in value. All original versions are showing the most value appreciation. Although your mods are tastefully done, the car would not be original so appreciation would be somewhat limited.

If you like the car and want to keep it or have fun at local Concours/shows, then the restoration investment probably should be thought of more as an entertainment expense. I doubt you'd recoup your $20K near term should you try to sell the car.

btw: I'm facing a similar situation with a 1998 M3/4 original owner car. 77K miles. Mostly stock with all the original parts retained. It's only original once.
