I currently do not own an E60 but my wife and I are waiting for the 535i to come out. Ideally, we wanted the M5 but the 535i seems to be the perfect substitute

Nah, go for the M5. What's a few extra bucks over the course of your lifetime, right?

haha yeah the "lifetime" part is the problem
with the N54 motor that is in the 535i, it takes less than 15 minutes to get it up to practically the same power level as the E39 M5 and almost same TQ as the E60 M5, through XEDE tuning.
And I am a big fan of boosted cars (check my sites), and I am sure that this motor can handle more boost than the stock 10-11 psi..
