My Ride: BMW 545i 2005 - Silver/Grey - 6 Speed Manual - Black Leather - Logic 7 - Cold Pkg - Active Steering - Nav - Adaptive Headlights - 275/35/18 rear and 245/40/18 front
How about recommending some subtle mods. Don't want to overdo it though.
My list so far: 19" M6 Rims, darkened front grill, M5 Spoiler, Sprint booster, exhaust (maybe).
And where to purchase from.

Definitely start with some rims, if you want to be subtle then nothing over the top, but the 5 series is screaming for some bigger wheels just by design!
I think the 167 will be a nice choice for your ride. 
Some euro red reflectors will be a nice inexpensive touch the the rear, should be able to pick them up from your dealer pretty cheap, like $20. I liked the rear look so much better then black or painted as that insert looks out of place if its not a reflector.

members: john@eurorev, r1racer, and/or nerweezy should be able to help you out with getting you the mods you want or at least can point you in the right direction. Shoot them a PM. Great choice with mods, I agree with the suggestion of the euro refelctors, if you don't want to get the AIB;s, you could also consider getting some brighter fog bulbs to match your xenons (hoens H8 are what many members use and would run you $30). ...
GL with your mods,

AngeliBright V3.0's and HOEN fogs were some of the coolest & cheaper mods I did on my old 530xi. I used to love driving with them on at dusk (never up early enough for dawn 
) And you can do it yourself with a good DIY and lots of patience.
