Interesting E60 Mods!
Im interested in some ideas. I would like to do something to update the interior but i dont know what. I would do the CIC retrofit but i dont have money to do so. (at least right now). Im also looking into performance mods. I got a N52 motor (the version that has 215-218hp. Which im surprised that is that low, considering I got a 3.0L I6 (it is an Xi) and a normal 530i is pushing more than that. Seems like no one cares about the N52 engine lol. Im not looking into super gains, it be kinda cool if i was able to get to 250 at least. Anyone here with a modded N52?

intake manifold with better filter, full exhaust with high flow cat and resonator (if any at all)
I think there's a software upgrade/chip available. Try turnermotorsport.com You might have to get someone on the phone though.

Iv been looking into the Stage 3 intake manifold... Active MotorWerke on instagram told me that they have a tune that with the intake I can get close to 300 HP. Along the side with their headers.
I wish they had some sale, The tune and intake manifold is a total of about 1.5-1.7k last time I checked lol.
I wish we had more options for the radio as well, the CIC retrofit doesent look hard it just costs alot.
