Assume you start with a 2000+ 3.8 M5. You have $5000 to spend on mods, and speed is more important than appearance (but appearance counts). What do you do? I know yall are sick of my constant hypothetical questions, but I really want to make sure that when I get the right things done to my car....

that would get you, the super, intake, exhaust and sfc's which could be a real plus when adding that extra power..-Brad

springs - 200
catback - 600
headers - 500
heads/cam - 1500
lsd - 100
lid - 100

I'd do,
Supercharger $3300 +/-
Exhaust, 3" from headers $700
3.73 gears, LSD $500 no more
Nitrous $800
$5300 and you could prolley get some thing cheaper etc, but if you need to ahve these things installed, then I'd say to deduct $800-900 for a shop to do it all, so that could get rid of the nitrous right there.
If you do anything, do Supercharger and Full Exhaust
