Default E61 mods, questions before purchase

Hi all,
I'm looking at an E61 (535xit) either an '08 or '09, haven't decided yet.


Looking at adding some factory options that weren't included on the cars when new.


1. HUD. I found 1 car in California with this, but it was sold by the time I got the email sent.
2. Paddle shifters
3. Change iDrive out for full nav, including larger screen
4. M-Tech aerodynamics kit (any difference against full M5 body kit?)
5. Folding M mirrors.

Not planning on doing front fendors, or quad exhaust.

I'm familiar and comfortable with the E39, but new to the E60/61. I also realize that there would be coding required.

The other thing, and I add this to consolidate threads, N54 carbon buildup and turbo replacement. If the car has ~80K miles, how much work should I plan on putting in? Assume rode hard and put away wet.


Advice is appreciated,
~Chubblez
