What performance mods should I get?

I have a 2006 E55 that is stock except wheels.
What mods yield a noticeable benefit from stock? Not too expensive please, I looked into the Renntech Stage 6 package and thought 29k is pretty ridiculous lol

Also, is there anything to mod to make it less of a boat on the track/corners?

You'd be extremely pleased with a Veloce Performance tune...Contact Dino:

http://www.veloceperformance.com/index.htm

Just installed last week via the OBD2 port on my G55K....
Much quicker response and broader power curve..
Install is a "no brainer" DIY !!
