I have a 2004 545i and all I want to know is if I can upgrade my navigation software to have better graphics and I read somewhere that you can see gas stations, hotels and stuff like thiat with the upgrades on the x5 site. Is this true?

No. The X5 navigation is a totally different system and the software isn't compatible.
Not sure what you mean by "see gas stations, hotels and stuff" -- you can see that sort of information now with the E60...

Is there anyway to upgrade the way the graphics look? I have a 2001 GS300 and even being 3 years older it looks better. Where do I go to set the system to show me where the closest hotel is or closest mall?

Although your expectations may be a bit high comparing the BMW system to the Lexus, you can still find the closest hotel or mall by using the "information" feature...
