No it adds up quick, for a DMS remap to start with (700.00-1000.00US)...then you can add more items such as exhaust (1000.00 to 1500.00US) and Cold Air intake (400.00US)...look to get about 40hp from all this around... 
Its a difference you can feel...

Its a difference you can feel...I really like to see before and after dyno figures (and from SAME dyno with same climate, air pressure, temparature = identical test conditions) that pushes with those childish tuning peaces 40 hp more to M54B30 engine?
I don't believe.

Regardless, it's going to run $10k+ installed.

If one is going to spend that kind of money to upgrade a 530i, then why not just buy the 535 or 550 in the first place?

Now if you have a brand new 530 and then mod it with 10k-obviously stupid. I spent 2k in mods and I am totally done. Was definetly worth the money but would not be going into further mods when you could by a stock car for the same cash.
But I kind of understand this for an 04/05 cause they are going pretty cheap-check them out on ebay
