Excellent stuff here!
I used to have a 325es that was also purchased from the original owner a couple years back. Despite being a Chicago car he had always parked it in a garage and it was largely rust free.
The only two things I would be careful with are the O2 sensor in the midpipe, though it might not be an issue on yours if there hasn't been much salt. If the midpipe is rusty or even just around the sensor be careful taking it out. Mine was still solid but covered in surface rust and the threads had rusted and more or less made the pipe and sensor one piece. I did eventually get the sensor out, but at the cost of a hole! I patched it over with a bit of high heat epoxy, a bit of sheet metal and a couple hose clamps. Worked fine and mileage increased!Damn thing was dirty.
Yours has about 10K more miles on it than mine had and there are likely going to be a lot of little things on it that need to be replaced soon. Definitely check the fuel filter if your car's getting a little rough when it's warmed up. That's probably what it is if the roughness goes away for any length of time if you step hard on and then let off the accelerator pedal. If it seems sluggish with bursts of pep, that's definitely what it is.
It looks like yours is also one that has the battery in the trunk. Pay special attention to the area where it would be were it up front. That spot right up against the firewall can be prone to rust, and if it's rusted enough water will end up leaking into the passenger footwell. That was an issue with mine and was quite annoying.

If you see the cops - LEAVE.

Deep dish wheels and a staggered setup would be badass.
Grats! Its always fun to have something to tinker with.
I know nothing about those engine, but can tell from just looking at the intake manifold that they must pick up a lot from an intake swap or porting - that is very low plenum volume for even a low rpm inline 6. I can't imagine it making power past 5k with that thing - the long runners must make some nice smooth TQ down low though!
Reminds me almost of an L98 SBC intake cut in half.

I actually am looking into getting ESM wheels for the car in the future. Going for that classic German touring look.
