Welcome, I like the E36 compact alot. I would go for the front splitter, but not the eyebrows & the all in one grille (just my opinion) & maybe a black mesh for the bumper too, would make a big difference

Bob the chrome surround between the lights and the mesh in the lower part of the bumper should be black. a nice touch to remove the bonnet badge. I'm a fan of the angel eyes and hate to see them partly covered and If you were ever to fit them you won't get the benefit cause of the upper eyebrow section of the front panel. I know they're pretty common place on cars now but I still like them (only on beemers of course) so would fit a set of M3 mirrors too this is just what I would do

i would get the car modded but trying to find out what fits and dont fit like salon/compact/touring/coupe i dont know what fits what because not every bit fits every model i have seen compacts driving about with 18" alloys on them and i only got the 17" allys on and no more there is about (.....) this amount of room between the baseplate on the front strut and the tyre and the alloys are only 225/45/17 i dont understand it what could that mean ? Bob....

Basically when anyone changes from the standard wheel to a larger wheel they should try & keep the overall diameter & rolling radius about the same as much as possible, within 2.5% either way is recommended. So, the higher the rim size, the lower the profile should be. Sounds like your 17s are a bit wide, & with a higher profile making them too large overall. You most likely also have wheels fitted that are the wrong offset. For example I went from 205/60/15 (originals) to 215/45/17, then eventually up to 225/40/18 & the difference was minimal. These were from a good dealer who made sure the offset etc was correct for the car. Try & find out your original wheel & tyre size (will be on the door pillar) & start from there. I dare say you could find a set of 18s that would fit, I can recommend these guys they have a good tyre size converter on there plus you can email them with any queries before hand.
