Just buy the M5. You can probably find some fancy headlights and taillights and plug them in yourself.

And only women need sat-nav.

But yes, actually using the sat-nav is a bit fluffy. Especially in Vegas. My CD-NAV was a 2001.5 version, and in 2001, the place that I live now was bare desert, so my sat-nav always showed me in the middle on nowhere when I got home. That was fun.
I'll probably be taking some pics of his M5 tomrrow or at least early this week sometime, and I already have some nice shots of the GT2, just need to run them through PS and tidy them up a bit and I'll post them (if anyone cares to see, that is.....). He wants me to take pics of the M5 because he's been thinking about selling it for an E55. I've tried to convince him that the M5 is probably the best car for what he does with his daily driver and not to get an E55, but he's still talking about it. Now he's talking about a CL600, which is even worse for him as he has two kids. I've tried my best to plant the RS6 bug (only if I can't convince him to keep the M), but so far he doesn't seem too interested in anything AWD.

On a more serious note, what numbers is his Dinan M5 putting out? Sounds like an amazing car!
Plus, I would love to see a pic of his GT2, those are freakin' amazing. I love the GT's, shame I can't afford one myself.
PS: That guy in the background? Me after one night with Jessica = Done

RE: Boring day.....
His M5 is probably only a DINAN 1.5, it's not quite the full S2 kit. It's probably around 430 at the flywheel, but the biggest improvment isn't the peak number, it's the midrange. If you've driven any M-cars you probably know about the sport button. It tightens up the steering, but it also increases throttle response by a lot. His car out of sport mode still had five times better throttle response than my car did in sport mode, and I didn't even try his with sport on. The stock M5 almost feels like a turbo car in that it has a certain RPM that it really comes on. The DINAN computer fills out that midrange and makes the powerband feel more like an RX-8, just a solid, consistant pull from the very bottom (although way way faster than the RX-8).
I'll get some of the GT2 pics up when I have a chance.

Imagine what 'Sport' mode would be like!

It's an 02 or 03 I think, but I don't really remember.
Here's one pic of it. It has the club Sport package as well, so lots of various carbon bits all over, and the four point bar in the back.
