Titium's list is good. I would also consider looking at other options for the front brakes. It depends how serious you want to get. The 135i front brakes are not well suited to hard continuous track use on R-comp tires. For the first stage of your upgrade path the stock calipers will be ok if you are a bit cautious, and have upgraded pads such as Ferodo DS2500 with Racing type Dot 4 fluid. Brake ducting would help a lot. Otherwise I recommend getting "hardbrakes" 1mm titamium shims. That helps protect the calipers and fluid from excessive heat, and allows the piston dust seals to last longer than they otherwise would.

I'm personally not confident about the low cost adjustable rear toe arms. Any changes to the toe arms makes me think about what would happen if they fail. I kept the stock ones on my car, but the alignment guys don't like them very much.
