Oh, you got that right. The mods will never end... Up next for me: hardwire V1, cross-drilled rotors, painted red caliphers ala cattman, differential, remapped Dinan ECU, Dinan throttlebody(maybe), Dinan CAI(maybe), custom quad exhaust using stock exhaust.
Hey keep me up to date about the supercharger cause I think i'm gonna supercharge mine too 
Oh also about the differential too thanks buddy

Haha... When I mention supercharger here, everyone gets excited. Everywhere else, people look at me like this: 
and say "Why are you going to spend $9K on a supercharger? Your car is fast enough." Then if they are good friends, they'll say "You know that $9K can go towards a wedding and engagement ring." 
I might have to really think hard about the supercharger or I just won't tell people when I do it.
As for everything else on my list, it is a definite go.

If you get the M5 then no one will be surprised when you beat them. Wait, I have the next MasterCard commercial:
Supercharger = $9K
Differential = $2K
Installation = $1.2K
Look on the faces of the owners of Mercedes E55 and CLS55 when they get pulled on by a non-M e60 = PRICELESS

Wife number 2 is much cooler and lets me get whatever I want...within reason. It was her idea for me to buy my e60!
I guess my wife is still the one in charge!

Whats the fun in getting a M5 when you can smoke a M5 with a supercharger and at the end you're still spending less than a M5
Most likely, the M5 owner will think his/her M5 is fast enough stock to beat a plain old e60 regardless of the model. 95% of the time they'll be right. It's just that one 5% of the time...
