Opinion please

If you had about 6k-7500 which engine mod(s) would you go for to get the most bang for the buck? Car is completely stock now and would want more performance before anything else.

You asked for mod(s) plural, but your poll will only accept one choice.....for the budget you allow there will be more than one used.

With that budget you can get a full ECU tune and catless DPs for under 4k and gain about 120hp. Ehaust is a waste of money unless youre going for more sound and the look. You could spend another 600 on springs and spacers and still have money left over! If you want more power and the best sound for an M5 get the MSR intake like i did.....you wont regret it!

Exhaust / catless / tune but the budget is kind of low if you want the exhaust, so go with catless tune and msr intakes... Bang for the buck!

Well, do this:
Used exhaust, drop in filters (check if your intake has the plugs, if not, install them, 300$ total), downpipes and tune. Should still have some coins in YO pocket!

Just the remap..more aggressive tune still needs to be perfected IMO
