Nice move, ECF! For a second there, I thought, "Now what would possess him to have two E60s?!" (based on that one pic with the Dinan car in the garage and the M5 on the street). I'd keep the R10s for sure and hit Dinan up for their new quad exhaust!! Congrats!
But I think I'm a Dinan guy at heart. This is going to drive me nuts... 
In the meantime, I'll move my R10s over along with the Dinan strut braces and pedals and european headlights. I have about 3 weeks to do what I can to the M5 before Bimmerfest.

VT: I agree that the Dinan 5 looks meaner. But hopefully soon, I'll have a Dinan M5
JetBlack: Yep, couldn't pass this one up. Not sure if it's the best deal but it had everything I wanted: black/black/alum fully loaded...
wowe: I knew someone was going to think I did the unthinkable by putting the M5 badge on a non-M car. haha
530i msport: Sorry about the little white lie. I was waiting to take some pics of the M5 to post it.

Anyway, it's just my opinion but I think everyone should own an M car at one point. This is my first and it makes me wish I could collect them. Then again, I still love my 545 and missing it already. I still have it and wish I could keep both but I'm supposed to go drop it off to have some of the parts removed and transferred to the M5.... 
Dually noted about everyone owning a M
Looks wise, I still think your 545 is much meaner looking and more individualized. Definitely transfer over the wheels, blacked out grill, headlights, roof spoiler, & trunk spoiler. Then it'll be like you never even got rid of the 545
