I think it will be important to indicate which model were talking about but overall, it should be a good discussion.
For me personally, on my 128i, the top 3 best-value mods are as follows:
1. eBay (BMS) clutch stop - $10 - Holy cow does this thing change the driving experience! Not only can my seat go another 2 notches back, the take-up is quick and very drive-able! If you own a 6mt, you MUST spend the $10.
2. BMW Performance Short Shift Lever - $85 (incl. additional bushing and clip) - The throws on the 1er 6mt can be long but this shortens them up SO much. Engagement into first is very "digital" and the 2-3-4 throws are a wrist-flick at most. Prior, I had to move my elbow position to get fast shifts in early gears.
3. eBay smoked side markers - $17 - Especially on a black car, old hazy looking side markers can really kill a car. The lights are plug and play and don't throw codes (because they utilize the bulb connection im assuming).

Easily my best mod, a bit pricey, was Xpel entire front of 1M....after that black side markers for looks and AP Racing brakes to stop on a dime.
