My Ride: 2006 E60 M5
all option (except soft close doors)
For my first mods where is my money best spent, 1) ECU software or 2) RPI pulley and scoops (with BMC filters)? I'm looking for performance most of all.

RPI pulley and scoop. I was at the Wheel Power Meet in Huntington Beach today talking with Eloy Way of RPI and a very satisfied M5 owner, keang24 on M5board. Anywhere from 15 - 20rwhp gain on the dyno. I'm excited that my E63 AMG will be the prototype for the 63 engine. 
Ask this question on the M5board and I bet they will same the same.
