My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
I have been seriously considering the Hamann dual exhaust. Although it looks and sounds great, it is kind of a band-aide to a dual exhaust system. I know there may be some fit problems with actually putting a muffler on the passenger side.
Does anyone know if the M5 mufflers can be purchased and fitted to an e60-545i?
And, what are the concerns?

The best seem to mix M tech with RD or just buy RD, as for HMN you need the 4 pipes and the rear a bit costy... -but I am thinking of it next year

Get the RDSport Quad Exhaust conversion. Edit: Unlike the Eisenmann, it has a X-pipe that equalizes the exhaust flow to two different mufflers. Here's the pic of the RDSport, $2,600.

Given as how I have no spire tire either, I went to Pep Boys to look for a can a goo for myself, but every single one said not to use it on performance tires. Is the BMW goo something special?

I don't know to be honest. You might want to check with their SoCal distributor, Carrozzeria Desigh in Irvine. Since I already have the MTech rear bumper with only one outlet, I was checking on their Sports Silencer (first pic below) but they don't have that for the 545 yet. Probably not till Dec.
If you're really into it, you could get their full Power Exhaust which includes exhaust manifolds, 100 cell high flow cats as well as the quad exhaust conversion I showed above. Look at the second pic here.
