Did you ever do this?
How much differential did you encounter?
Would love to pursue this with my 2008

Wanted your thoughts. Anyone done this? I really prefer the black interior and I can cover the roof lining down the road.
My Ride: 05' E61 535d M Sport, carbonscwarz metallic, retrofitted w/ sepang bronze cooled, heated, active backrest "M multifunction" M5 interior. Logic7, LCI tails, style 135 rims, HUD.
Model Year: 2005
Engine: M57D30TÜTOP
Even if the rear seat is fold down, you need to re trim the rear seat, because the sedan seats are about two inches taller but an inch narrower. I recently installed a e60 interior into my e61 and had to make 1 rear seat set from two, as I also intended to keep the heated mats and the m5 specific extra stitching, that is not present on the e61. Its not 100% perfect, but its there and has almost all of the original leather. It was not a possibility to find a e61 seat back in that Sepang Bronze perforated leather, so I had to improvise. (To my knowledge there are about 10 e61 M5s with this interior)
