Do you have an M5? If you don't then you will find it very difficult to install the OEM M5 exhaust on a 525, 530, 545, or 550. Really, you can't. I know of one person that installed one half of the OEM M5 exhaust and customized a dummy pipe for the right side to give the illusion of a quad setup.

My Ride: 2007 550i, Mystic Blue over Auburn, 6-Manual, Sports, Premium, Cold Weather, Logic 7, Nav, Sirius, MTec Front & Sides with M5 rear apron, VIS Penta carbon fiber vented hood, OEM M166s, (or Style 101M with winter 19 Blizzaks), BMW Blue Calipers, Custom Quad Exhaust and M5 side grills, trunk finisher and spoiler. Rogue Octane SSK/WSR and Zeckhausen CDV, BMW illuminated shift knob, Delivered 4/26/06 - Ordered 3/18/06 from Otto's (the Best) BMW Dealership.
I too bought an M5 exhaust system from an upgraded car (GMP Perfromance in NC- GREAT guys) and am wondering whether I have the guts to mod the trunk floor as needed. I only paid $100 for the system (cat back with center muffler, 4 mufflers and all the pipes). I think I can section the spare tire into an M5 like compartment, and then move the battery into that compartment. Stock M5 heat shields and hangers and such will complete the mod, and they're available on www.realoem.com along with alot of the technical diagrams of the parts and such. I like the M5 rear apron and would probably do that (from QUAD_M) . I bet it would make a great sound when done and look awesome...
I'm a pretty good fabricator and welder, but I still haven't gotten the guts to get into cutting a $70k car... Let me know if you have any ideas.

Other thing, those who have the M5 rear on their normal e60s they have not cut that, and left the sparetire comp. block the diffuser of M5 rear bumper, so that has no effect.
My diffuser is crashed and also hit the spare compartement and to repair that is not easy. Good luck.

hey thanks Tajaro
sure i can get you the quad rear bumper but running the second REAL pipe its not a big deal if you can find
the right custom muffler shop in your area. it will cost you 200-300 dollars to make it happen
all you have to do upgrade the exhaust tips either original bmw chrome tips or you can go with the
hamann or anyother aftermarket products.
take care..
