Short shift kit - I don't know. I also had a 540
before my M5 but I really never
had a problem with the shifters
I hear they work well though.

Exhaust Mostly for sound & looks. maybe
a couple HP.

Intake I think M5's already have cold
air intakes so I don't see the
point. I haven't had any water
problems with either my 540 or
M5.

Chip no power gains. only eliminates
the speed limiter and also opens
the throttle buterflies quicker
when not in "Sport" mode.

LSD Don't know.

I highly recommend the Dinan stage III suspension mods. Eliminates the cars understeering tendencies
and makes it more neutral. Feels like a lighter car. I think it's the best mod! FYI I did Stage III, Dinan Exhaust & Dinan Chip. I Dynoed before & after. Picked up 6 HP.
The Dinan exhaust sounds great!
