I'm not even sure if anything I've done really counts as a "mod." I do pride myself as being the only forum member I've seen list the coat rack in his signature! 
Anyway, here are the few things I've added (go ahead and laugh guys):
1. New set of take-off 124s with Michelin PS (less than 50 miles) -- $1200
2. Red Cal Covers from Bavarian Autosport -- about $100
3. Black lug covers from Bav Auto -- $20
4. OEM headrest coat rack -- $30
5. OEM all-season floor mats for winter -- $80
6. M5-style lip spoiler (installing soon) -- $120
All told, about $1550, and the bulk of that is just for a set of tires/wheels that come stock on many cars.
Still, my car looks basically stock. I guess you get what you pay for. Cheers to you guys who want to take it to the next level.

My Ride: 2005 530i Silver Gray/ Gray Leather. SP,PP
Im about $ 20k. What really bothers me is when people you with all the money you spent on the 530i, you couldve gotten a M5.
