If that's been done: brake upgrade. Your Grandma would probably smile knowing that you're making your car stop quicker and hence safer.
540 caliper/rotors for rear.(see link for details)
M6 caliper/rotors for front (I underand that there is an 850 front upgrade possibility that will bolt on but not sure of particulars. You may want to inquire about that at the E28 link.)
((approx. $500-$600 for rears. Fronts? probably a tad more)price reflects do it yourself with rebuilt used calipers/carriers, new rotors/pads))
Do not use cross drilled discs, they tend to crack!
Slotted may be OK but I have heard they are harder on pads.
Balo calipers are what ya want.
Got some extra $$ to spend? Get sport seats and change the steering wheel. Those two things make a huge difference in the handling feeling. M6 seats can be found, they will bolt right in. The seats provide solid lateral support for your butt in a turn. The steering wheel gives it a bit faster turn in. Enough to make a difference!
Your steering wheel wobble may be due to needing hub-centric spacers. Check the archives.
Check this link out for brake upgrade.
It's a very well done site by an enthusiast!!!!!!
