It really depends on your taste and style. There's so many exterior mods you can do, from debadging, bumbers, grilles, tint, and even plasti-dipping. Just look around for awhile, you'll find out more and more the more you look lol

Oh, I haven't done anything performance wise and have barely looked into it. There's not too much hype surrounding intake or headers but they'd be better than nothing and give a better sound to your car.

I would say msport conversion and some 19' wheels. I dont know much about a 323i as they dont have them in the US. As for engine mods, upgrade engine cooling like an intake and an exhaust. I dont know if they have tunes for your car but if its supported a supercharger would be nice. Good luck with your mods

No way that's only for the 2 minutes of drag racing, any other situation it is still a cheap three series, I know I have one.

I have a 323i also. There are a few things to make it less slow, but it will never be quick (well, maybe if you go supercharger route).

Common upgrades: intake, exhaust, maybe headers and a tune.
If it's a 6mt, consider a short shift kit also.

So far I only have an intake, mainly for the sound. Focusing my efforts on cosmetics (nothing drastic, just accents like splitters, spoiler, rims, etc) and audio.

Good luck!
