I have a 2005 545i and I looking to upgrade to get some better performance. I have about $3000 to start with, but I don't know where to start. I am ok with the handling for now, I am looking for some more speed.

By more speed I assume you mean better acceleration
Lightweight wheels and non run flat tires
or
Dinan software, exhaust and cold air intake

Before you pick up an exhaust system, try to hear a few in person. Sound makes a huge difference in terms of daily driving enjoyment, so you want to make sure you get that aspect right.
