Help with modding 525i (amateur)

Hi, I’ve been blessed to have my mom’s e60 BMW 525i as my first car. It was fun for a while but after driving my friend’s tuned BRZ, I knew I wanted more power. However, I can’t really find any aftermarket support with this car. I’m on a strict budget since I just got a job. Any suggestions on what to do?

This is my car

My advice? Enjoy it for what it is. The 525 is the base model and you're not going to get any performance boost no matter what you spend on it. Bimmers are expensive to maintain, so if you're on a budget, bank your cash for the inevitable repairs to come.

Thanks, I'll probably follow your advice because I know it's going to get costly down the line xd
