Talking BMW 525i 2005 Performance mods? Ideas?

I have a friend who has a BMW E60 525i 2005 AT and he really wants some performance mods but not upgrading it to a turbo so I guess you know more about BMW petrol engines than me (I have a 525D, so I'm kind of a diesel guy) so let your ideas flow here.

PS: I want to talk him out from buying a 2001 S3 and selling his beauty (very well equipped E60)

I did a drop in kn filter. You can look into the full exhaust if he wants, (im not into exhaust on my bmw unless its a 535 545 550 or M5)

He should really just sell it and get a 535i for the twin turbo, and then buy COBB to tune it thats what im looking to do.

AFAIK 535 is not available across the pond.
