Too many. theres waaaaay too mant things to change. It'll prob end up costing more than a 997tt before you're done.
Everything needs to be changed. The only thing thats really the same is like the body shell.
You'll need to changed
#1 Engine
#2 Transmission
#3 Instrument Cluster ( I assume thats what you ment by "dash"
#4 the actual Dash. Yes the M5 dash is different. Ours is plastic. M5 is Leather.
#5 Seats
#6 Bunch of interior parts and buttons to enable all the drive functions.
#7 Steering wheel
#8 Interior Roof
#9 Trunk floor then move battery
#10 Add trunk lid piece
#11 Exhaust
#12 Drive train
#13 LSD
#15 Wheels
#16 Rear Bumper
#17 Front bumper
#18 Side Fenders
#19 Side mirrors
#20 Software

#infiniti Oh did I mention the engine?

Somewhere between #20 and #infinity is the M5 badge, right?

But if he puts the M badge on, won't that be enough?
