Ok I guess I'll save my $. My Car is NOW just for the LOOK to pick up girls. When I sell my car in the near future...the purchasers would probably be a P.I.M.P

Mods will help some, as would a Sprint Booster. Don't expect miracles. Have you tried sport mode from the transmission? That will hold the gears longer and let the motor get into its power.
EDIT: re-reading your post, you do use M1. Do you let the engine rev? Do you brake torque it at all? Hold the brake, rev it to 2k or so, and release the brake while flooring it, is your best bet for a jump off the line.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a sprint booster only increased pedal response and not actual acceleration.

how many, how many HOW MANY 525i want a SINGH tune ECU modification?
Anyone out there with a 525i has SiNGH TUNE UP? DOES IT DOES IT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE?

You might want to request the hp/torque curves/dyno charts from Singh - if they've ever done a 525. This will give you a great deal of info on how the remap will affect your real-life acceleration.
