For my E30 325i, the biggest performance I gained from cleaning the injectors. When I bought the car I drove it 2000 miles around Europe and noticed sluggish drive in speeds under 100km/h.
Pulled the injectors out and it had what looked like decade full of gunk. Spray pattern non existing. Just weeped fuel through the gunk. Gave them ultrasonic bath and rebuilt them. Car now feels very responsive in city driving and accelerates nicely in highways.
Pros: responsive driving, nice acceleration
Cons: sluggish drive

I just replaced mine last week! I bought a remanufactured Bosch from FCPEuro. Looked brand new. Also was a pretty easy DIY.

I just snagged from Craigslist a set of 17" wheels with Blizzaks on them with only 3,500 miles on the set for the ATS for only $425. Will be interesting seeing how the RWD performs with decent snows. I have Altimax Arctics on the BMW - combined with the AWD that car can go through most anything.
Pros: can go through most anything

I have DJ Auto Headlights (basically the best Hella replicas) that were modified by Umnitza with Bi-Xenon Projectors, Orion LED Halos and Canbus error free ballasts (for cars with Halogen low beams from Factory).
Pros: best Hella replicas

Definitely winters for a RWD, I had a RWD 335i with X-Ice 3 and I never had an issue with tires. The only problem I had with snow was my car basically plowing the streets because it was so low.
Pros: no issue with tires
Cons: car plowed streets

Not because of F1, but when I bought full winter rims/tires I had Scorpion Ice & Snow for my X5M. They worked very well actually, and with the combination of the vehicle and those tires I never had any issues in the snow
Pros: worked very well
Vehicle:
BMW
M3 Non Snow: BFGoodrich gForce Comp 2...M3 Snow: Continental WinterContact Si (very, very happy with these over years of being a Blizzak driver)...Wagon Non Snow: Continental ExtremeContact DWS (very happy so far)
Pros: very happy

The Hankooks are great daily driver tires, but after running one autocross on them I was not happy with them for performance driving. I have them on my BMW.
Pros: great daily driver tires
Cons: not happy for performance

When I had my e46 it was wearing a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws. In the course of the next 30k miles (almost exclusively highway miles), they all warped one by one and had to be replaced. I don't remember exactly how old the tires were but the last one was around 4 years old when it went, and each tire still had a decent amount of tread left in every case. I will never buy Uniroyal tires as long as I live.
Pros: decent amount of tread
Cons: warped one by one
