Nothing.
Supercharger is 10k for I think 100hp.
Headers are 3k for about 25hp
A tune is about 1k for maybe 10hp
The engine is basically maxed out from the factory and you spend a few grand getting anything noticeable out if it.

My Ride: Alpine E60, '09 535i-Premium, Sport and Comfort Access PackageMods: Lux H8 V3 Angel Eyes, Weisslicht LED license plate lights, Interior LED lights, RPI Scoop, Matte Black Grills, Smoked LED side markers & side reflectors, 35% tint all around, and a 3
^this. If anything maybe a RPI exhaust to change the exhaust note. Otherwise any performance mod cost $$$ for a low amount of HP increase.

My Ride: BMW 550I BLK
Model Year: 2007
Engine: N62
That's what I'm doing but I'm going with the 550i rear sport bumper and I'll find a nice dual diffuser. I already have the mtech front bumper. I also have the Depo tails and i may ricky break effect them. Smoked led side markers and a few other things but I don't want to come off like I'm trying to be an M5 bc they will check you on the highway. I have a 07 550 but it wasn't a the 550 sport. I thought all 550i's were sport so I missing something's that I want like the comfort access seats and i dont have that adjustable suspension So im going to go with the Koni fsd struts and eibach pro kit combo bc the fsd are self damping. My car is blk and i will get blk grills also. But there's alot of good threads about exhaust but bee ready for the different opinions bc if you ask they will get at you good bad or ugly.. right Kyle B.. but I appreciate his comments now that I've been a member of the site I get it now.
