There's still more you're missing:
The motor, suspension (EDC), brakes, transmission, LSD, seats...did I mention the motor?
If you're willing to go that far to mod your 550, think about the possibility to sell it and instead, buy the real deal. I promise you insurance will not cost you $24K/year.

does any one see a problem that i might run into if i'd like to make an 550i look exactly like a stock M5?
insurance on an m5 in NYC for me is 24000 per year, hence the attempt
here is what i've priced out.
2 mirrors
front and rear bumper
2 front fenders
2 side sills
4 19'' wheels
2 m5 mufflers
instrument cluster
shift knob
i drive controller
mats
m5 door sills
aluminum trim
steering wheel
all purchased from a bmw dealer

When we were kids in the 50's we sniffed a lot of DDT. We didn't know bettter. When the DDT fogging trucks would come by we'd run in the fog following the trucks. Does that count? I have left you many openings. I know. Go for it.

Yes, it's not good for people, to say the least, and was outlawed for all or some uses; it was being used to control mosquitoes in the polio days. Back in the 50's, everyone had DDT sprayers and also would spray inside for mosquitoes. We also smoked coffee as kids, but not for a high though--so don't bother to try it. Just for the heck of it. Just being kids.
