Lci tails with retro fitting and coding, these are a few mods that I can suggest, pls feel free to message me if you have any questions
Have fun modding

Reading everyone's posts: 
...... 
Me:
<$500.
I'm still getting started. The only problem is justifying spending hundreds on mods when I need to be saving for a down payment on a house/etc.
I guess it's all about priorities.

i havent had it on a dyno yet....but here's my reasoning:
*the 545i engine is def underrated at only 325 hp
*the Dinan throttle body, stage 3 software and dual air intake system def provides a bit of additional hp (not a huge gain, but decent)
*the full hi-flow exhaust also bumps hp by a few horses as well
thus, def not beating any M5s out here....but my baby is fast.
i only money grew on trees id be able to afford the astronomical $10K for an ESS supercharger and get some real firepower under the hood. but since blue book on my car is like $23k...i dont think its makes sense on any planet to drop in another $10k just on one upgrade...

You know, I wish I could post a dollar figure but in the off-chance my wife ever reads this thread I would be a dead man. I probably could have had another vehicle parked right next to my E60 if I didn't drop a penny in mods, that much I can tell you... 
Ha ha...
