+1, even in my pre lci 323, I am happy for daily drive and I rarely go full throttle.
get lighter wheels: better acceleration, handling, fuel economy, better for the world.
alternatively, consider some cf mods, but believe e60 bonnet is already quite light.

according to that post in the us:
525 3L engine w/o 3 stage manifold
530 3L engine w 3 stage manifold
in hk
323 2.5L w/o 3 stage manifold
325 2.5L w 3 stage manifold
I would imagine hk e60 and e90 will have the same model # convention. this means, you already have the 3 stage manifold. if you really want to play w some ecu mods, can also consider bms powerbox which improves throttle response as well as a little increase in bhp.

mine is a 2.5 for sure. do u mean mine already with the 3 stage manifold? if yes, then i don't need anymore mod?
i thought it is the same n52 engine for us/canada,
now, really don't know if it can make it the same as 530 after mod as the guy mention.
ya, i will check the realoem to compare the parts later. thanks alot.
i hope i can do, but not sure.
