I have a 2004 545i that is completely stock. I am already working on the exterior, tinted windows and black rims, but i want to start modify the performance side of things. From browsing around this site I am guessing that a sprint booster would be the first step, just kinda wondering where to go from there. Intakes? chips? etc

I just recently got my 545 and modded in this order:
(1) Sprint Booster
(2) Speed Innovation Chip
(3) aFe CAI
(4) Exhaust (Haven't gotten it yet)
There isn't much performance wise you can do with an NA car. So there isn't really a particular order.
