AHC: Napoleon III is more succesful and remains remembered as "the great".

Some ideas:

1) Intervention in the ACW (with/without British support) to brake the power of the US and to protect Maxilimilan's power in Mexico.

2) Retaining the Suezcanal for France and exercing great influence in Egypt.

3) Helping to unite Italy like OTL, but then under a member of the family Bonaparte (like himself -> Napoleon I or e.g. Jerôme and his son), thus forming a solid alliance with the Italians.

4) Attacking Prussia while the Prussian armies are fighting against Austria and, afterwards, grabbing Luxembourg and maybe some parts of Germany. -> Preventing the union of Germany under Prussian leadership

5) Not loosing the war against the Germans and preserving Bonaparte rule in France.
