I'm in the same situation as you but just 1 step forward. I have a bone stock 2005 e55 until recently. As my first mod, I purchased the eurocharged ecu tune.
My next moves would be pulley/heat exchanger/ic pump.
After that, prolly headers.
Los Angeles is mostly controlled by renntech and kleeman. Eurocharged sent me their tune file via net and i just uploaded it manually to my ecu. Easy process.

I think over the years- general consensus would be.
First look/replace the CPS, check fuel sending units, fuel tank (fill it to brim to cheak for leakage) and check airmatic.
Once all those done then,
Intercooler pump, Bigger H/E (currently group buy going on) , Headers (unless smog worries you ) ,
then S/C pulley not crank and to complement a favourable tune.
S/C pulley has have had issues (cracking, spring breaking what not). That's why I wrote it after Headers.
If Unlimited funds are available -then you can just start with modding in any manner you want but if I could do it over I'd do it
the way I described.

You need to get it perfect. No if's and but's -right to the dot.
With S/C installation is much easier plus ppl not running enough cooling can
still do by fine with S/C pulley alone.
