My Ride: 2004 e60 M5 Replica Titanium Silver Premium Package Premium Sound Package Adaptive Xenon's Apple iPhone cell interactive pared with iDrive Bluetooth setting 19 inch BMW OEM 166M rims, Michelin tires Sprint Booster - V2 Fidelity / BMW Extended Warranty 7 year / 100,000 miles

Dear e60 forum,

I need to know if a BMW OEM e60 M5 shifter will fit and work on my 04 530i with the 6 speed Steptronic auto with sport Trans?

If so, about how much does the M5 shifter cost, and the kit cost?

Is it fully functional or does it have some limitations working with my stock BMW trans?

Do you have the BMW Part number for this M5 shifter and kit, and if so can you please give it to me?

Can I install it, or do I need to get a BMW Service Tech. to do this e60 530i to a M5 shifter modification?

Thanks in Advance!!

R. Eddie Presley

Andy545 has this fitted to his 545 auto. He posted up details here. Looks awesome, especially if combined with the M5 dials like Andy's done in his ride
