I'd look at your suspension before going too far with the engine. The car is getting old and most of the shocks, bushings will be worn out by now. I'd get that area of the car updated before spending too much on the engine. With minimal effort the E86 can be really sweat handling machine again.
Also look at the brakes, make sure they are not "Advance Auto" specials.
My two cents.

Its a very tidy car and wanting for nothing in the suspension department (Motorsport suspension) New CSL drilled rotors front and drilled rear ordered up, and the 335i front caliper conversion happening too.
Running on Apex EC7's at the mo, and a set of Arc8's waiting in the wings. Thinking about the bmw motorsport LSD or a Quaife perhaps, just a little hard to justify.
May change the ratio perhaps.The car is fitted with DSC.
Guess I would want to see empirical evidence of any gains with MILV's fitted and a remap before doing this work.
Thanks for the responses so far.
