stick your tow hook in, get a chain, hook one end of the chain to your tow hook, attach the other end of the chain to a E46

I think the general consensus is that throttle body spacers dont do jack. Without a turbo you're not going to get fast, but you can make it more fun.
You can get motor mount bushings which will make the shifting smoother by holding the engine in place better and cable and cage bushings which makes the shifting more precise.
As far as suspension goes a rear sway bar can be had for $150-200 and will make the corners much more fun and is easy to install.
An underdrive pulley will free up some horsepower which you would like.

Before you start dumping all your hard earned cash into modifications you might not know much about, I really suggest you learn about how cars work and what effects different modifications can have.
Nothing is more irritating than some teenager with a Fast and the Furious mindset thinking that anything loud and/or flashy is what makes a fast car.
And if you do know how a car works and how modifications can affect the car, you wouldn't start a thread like this.
Sorry, your first post sounds like you've been playing a little too much Forza 2.
Street intake +5HP
Race intake +15HP
...I'm sorry it doesn't work that like.
