Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Intakes do not add much, cheapest option is to cut up your own airbox. Cut out the Charcoal filter at the very least & use a K&N drop in filter.
use the money you save on performance parts for the suspention, like e92 or e93 m3 sway bar or coils/springs

Exhuast you want is Magnaflow or BMW PE for 128i, no carbon tips though

Any advice on trying to install this intake myself? The muffler? I really would like to do the mods myself, just so i know exactly what I did, and how the car reacts as it gets accustomed to each mod.
intake yes
exhaust, you will need a lift, exhaust clamp which comes with PE (maybe magnaflow) and time
