First get wheels which are around $3000-5000 depending on brand, used or new. Then I'd get an Mtech kit for around $1600-2000. Best way to start your mod
mtech kit is 1.6-2k, how much for paint and installation.
wheels you can have for 3k - 4k with tires.
i would still think he would need more like 7-7.5k for this.

what are you going to modify in ur stock e60 if you got 6k and plz list prices if you can thanks

Rims = 3000k
Suspension = 1200
M-Tech Kit = 1700

Something like this... Depending on how much you want to spend on rims and suspension. IMHO these three mods do the most for the car.
