I never pulled the nav out of my X to see how much room there is but anybody thinking of putting a double din unit into an E39 (5 series) it probaby isn't going to fit. There is a deep space at the top but it's shallow at the bottom.

To install Siruis in your 540 all you had to do was replace your radio module with one from a 2004 or newer.
For those considering this nav screen, do note that while the physical dimensions of the e38/e39 5-series and 7-series nav screens are the same as for the X5, there is a noticable difference in how the screen itself is adjusted in order to optimize it to the viewing angle for the respective vehicles. I had installed a widescreen from a 5 series into my X5, and while it was usable, when I replaced it with one that was meant for an X5 I found that the screen picture and colors were much much better.
