I'm trying to decide if I'd rather do the rep M5 mirrors or LCI tails. I'm going to hold off on any performance mods for the time being, although I was very close to pulling the trigger on a RPI exhaust.
Both are mods that I will eventually get done, but I'm trying to budget myself since I'm going on a pricey vacation in a few weeks. Which would you do first, and why? Thanks!

...Sounds like your doing what I did with my BMW OEM M5 mods, I took way slow starting in 2006 purchasing the BMW OEM 166 rims one year and then the next year purchasing through Garry at BMW of Newport that gives us forum members 25% off MSRP, savings that allowed me to purchase ALL BMW OEM M5 front fender and gills, and rear fenders. (at first I'm 2004 I tried to save money buying replica rims and 3rd party parts and was totally unhappy and sold the non BMW OEM parts at a 50% discount, and saved my money and replaced with all with BMW OEM parts and now could not be happier with the smooth riding BMW OEM 166s with M 5 sized Michelin tires) I heard there excellant replica rims out there, but I never found one and they looked great, but I could never get my old repicia rims balanced on my e60!
Anyway good luck with the mods on your 545i!! Be sure to let me know how you RPI Exhaust goes! Are you going with quads?

This is exactly what I was thinking. I think I'd miss the puddle lights too. Thanks for all the replies!
