Yes it is possible. It doesn't matter if you don't have the DPF.
You can not put a muffler on the right side (unless it is a tiny motorcycle muffler) though, because the battery box is there. It is the same with all E60s, except M5. This is mine (Nevermind the yellow fellow):

Thank u mate it helped me a lot
Now i have to think about doing this in my sweetie
When u start up your engine is it easy to notice that muffler on right side is kinda "not original"
Where exactly did u made a "connection" with original exhaust? Because I think it depends how we connect new muffler
Thanks for help again

The sound is 100% the same as with original. In a diesel engine it is pretty difficult to get it sound different .

I cut the original exhaust pipe behind the DPF (a center muffler in your case). You can see the cut/attaching point in the pic below:
