If your 545 already has a changer why do you want to replace it with a "brand name" changer? If it doesn't work I recommend replacing it with another used changer from another e60 BMW. There have been several out there for sale since many e60'ers replace theirs and use USB or iPhone to store music.

Go to REALOEMand enter in the last 7-digits of the car's VIN.
Click on group 65, and then select the CD-Changer from the right-hand menu. That will give you a list of the CD-changers, bracket and screws that you will need to source.
You can install the CD-changer by doing the reverse of the instructions provided at this thread:

You will then have to have the card coded at a dealership or independent specialist. Alternatively, you can code the car yourself with the correct software and cable.

This presumes that your car is pre-wired for the CD-Changer. If it is not pre-wired then it is a bit more complicated.
