It's a never ending list really, just depends on how much wrenching you're planning on doing yourself, and also what car this is for. For DIY on a Z4, in addition to the above:

Low profile jack
Jack stands
Wheel chocks
Fluid drain pan
Adapters (1/4 to 3/8, 3/8 to 1/2, 1/2 to 3/8...)
Torx socket set
Allen socket set (metric)
Plier set

Not immediately important, but nice to have:
Pry bar
Breaker bar
Cordless impact
Tweezers set
Trim/push pin removal set
Telescoping magnet
Feeler gauge set
List goes on forever...

As with most things, you get what you pay for. Higher priced tools are often tougher, have better clearance, etc. Some things you can get away with being cheap, other things you'll have to consider as an investment if you'll be doing this often
