I own LSJ, An Interpretive Lexicon of New Testament Greek, Thayer's, Louw-Nida, Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament, TDNT, and Theological Lexicon of the New Testament but I do not own BDAG. What is the best exhaustive, technical lexicons I should use out of the ones below? I have 57$ and want to buy a better and more exhaustive lexicon but do not know what I should buy. Any thoughts?

    Not for $57.

    The closet might be:

    https://www.logos.com/product/168884/the-brill-dictionary-of-ancient-greek?ssi=0 

    which is good ... BDAG would be better.

    If you're looking at semantically close words, and how used:

    https://www.logos.com/search?query=dbl&ssi=0&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all 

    And for ease of use, showing usage in the interlinears, etc, and bibliography (but not the depth you're asking):

    https://www.logos.com/product/197493/lexham-research-lexicon-of-the-greek-new-testament 

    But absent older lexicons (which you need expertise, if academic), you need to save up .... for ..... BDAG.
