When I see this thread subject title, I know for sure that Znod will involve.
Here are some experts per subject on this forum:
1. Performance number 0-60, weight reduction, etc - Znod
2. Tire and wheel - olli_535d
3. G-timer - vegastrashed
4. Cosmetic aftermarket mod - EuroCarFan
5. Internet security, BMW repair instruction - Rudy
6. New facelift, new model year - E60Speed
That's all I know for now

Don't forget to remove the owners manual and all your CDs. Empty fast-food containers should also be shoveled out of the foot wells.

The most important mod for the most E60 driver I know to lower the rides weight, I suggest to make some diet.
That does more than the most tipps before.

So true...why on earth would one bother to do all the things above when he alone weighs +200pounds
PS OFFTOPIC: Did i mention that it's a fact that i can't find the lateral support needed in any bmw model? (Except maybe csl or any other super hardcore bmw). I tried in the M5 M multifunction seats in the most hugging settings and still not satisfied, also the seats from the Z4 M coupe didn't do exactly like i wanted. Ohhh and my sport seats are probably for those people with more than 200pounds. What on earth is that all about? What's the matter with bmw and their perception of sports seats (sports people aka rather fit people).

Take a crap before you drive. 
That ought to knock the weight down a pound or two, depending on what you had for dinner.
