Below are some suggestions:
1. Start by removing the charcoal filter. Here are the instructions from Lomag: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=21796
Order a K&N Filter from autoanything.com or get the Dinan Cold Air Intake (www.dinancars.com)
2. Exhaust system - depending whether you like more sound out of your V8, you can look into dual exhaust or quad exhausts (ie RDSport, Hamman, etc..)
3. M-Tech Kit (PM Quad M for pricing)
4. 19" or 20" wheels
5. Angelibright for your angel eyes
6. Suspension (ie H&R sport springs or H&R Coilovers, etc..)
Good luck and Happy Motoring!!

Dealer said I might have some issues with TPM if I don't get factory wheels. Any truth to this?

No. Plenty of e60s with aftermarket wheels. All that's needed is new valve sensors or maybe able to use from original tires.
