Recommended Tools for our Cars (Newbie Help)

Hi, I don't have much experience with mechanical hands-on stuff, but would like to start learning general automotive and mechanic skills on my car. I don't have any automotive tools at all, and don't mind investing in good ones that will last me for decades.

Which tools and equipment would be useful for the maintenance of the N54, and DIY installs? The most I've done so far was installing my painted reflectors, which only required a heatgun, some Goo Gone, and lots of patience.

What I want to do:

1. Swap wheels
2. Oil change, eventually
3. Brake fluid flush/pad change
4. FMIC install
5. Maybe even DP install

What kinda tools should I get? Any advice/suggestions would be nice, whether it's brand, size of tools, how useful it is, etc.

I'm thinking of:

Torque wrench (1/2" for wheels? Electronic or one that clicks?)
Breaker bar for lug nuts -- Is there a good tools kit or something I can buy? Maybe I should just get a normal long wrench?
Low-pro Jack - Will any low profile one do?
Jack stands - How many do I want? 2 or 4 or more?
Wheel chocks

Recommend me some stuff that would be useful! Thanks ;)

Edit: This is probably in the wrong section
