Well there really are not a lot of mods you can do to the 328 performance wise. You can buy intakes and exhausts but they will only alter the sounds; the horsepower per dollar rate is very low. You can consider suspension mods but you have an xi, so that would be something to think about first.

I personally have spent plenty of money making the other cars in my stable fast so the 328 is just a comfortable long distance cruiser for me.
I have stuck to just appearance mods:
On a black car I have done, matte black kidney grills, smoked front reflectors, smoked side markers, matte black 328 badge, xenon angel eye bulbs, xenon fogs, LED courtesy lamps, black & white BMW badges, window tint, exhaust tips, & coco mats. I haven't added it up but I imagine that is in the 700-900 range, (or I could have bought an exhaust!)

Get painted side reflectors, the stock glowy orange ones are gross. -$70.00
Black Grills -DIY $5.00 or $45.00 off a vendor
M- Tech front lip spoiler - $365.00 totally changes the stance of the car
Red Out Taillight Film - Gets rid of the little white stripe in the taillight on pre-LCI cars which I hate. - $52.00
Wheels of your choice.
