Yes u can. I did the same upgrade to my 523i...! Looks and performs so much better than my old stock ones!

One thing you have to make sure is that the wheels that you are using have enough clearance for the big rotors and brake calipers!

There was a thread on someone putting the M5 V10 into a non-M E60 somewhere...

I did Front & rear, Mark Hk you did complete right?

The braking is off the chart, I did a write up in the mods section some where, Sachal there is a member selling a full kit in Frisco area for dirt cheap..he might still have them.

Anyone know how much and if its possible to buy the whole M5 kit, front and back, so, disks, pads, calipers, everything, from BMW?
Will they sell it, or do you need M5 chassis numbers?
