Question 05 545i performance upgrades

Hello,
Does anyone have any input/knowledge on reliable performace upgrades for a rear drive 05 545i V8? I seem to hear many different opinions and am not sure which way to go. I appreciate any and all input/suggestions. The vehicle is primarily used for pleasure and is in no way my dailey driver. I do take long highway trips from time to time. But very little stop and go unless going for a joy ride on a saturday night. Thanks,
Mike

Power or handling?

There's not much worthwhile in the power dept for modern BMW's.

Personally I wouldn't mess with the suspension but if you wanted you could do swaybars and/or springs and get noticeable improvement.

Talk to Dinan in California or look on their website, they are pricey but really good at what they do
