I just bought my E30just about a week ago and just bought brakes for it but being so little educated on E30s I was wanting to know what kind of stuff should be done or like any cool mods and things of that sort that I should look into

Do no maintenance, just clean it up and flip it on BaT or similar after driving it no more than 50 miles. Seems like the most popular course of action for new E30 owners today.
Alternately, you could spend hours reading this forum for ideas, and choose ones that will suit your desire/ability/budget.

Clean everything: take the seat out and shampoo the carpet, degrease the engine bay, clean all the buttons/knobs, clean all the surfaces. While you're doing that, make a list of everything that's broken so you can start making plans to repair it. If you don't already have basic tools, buy a "mechanic's tool set". Buy a copy of the Bentley manual.
The coolest mod fixing problems that make the car unreliable. It's pretty cool to have a car that starts every time and isn't a deathtrap.sigpic
