Indeed, and I'm planning on doing so.

The AR2 has a giant digital clock display on its home screen, so I'm not very worried about time/date functions through the car. I've got the Metra double-din dash kit for E53s. To me, it looks pretty good in person, and the pictures of installations I've seen online look fairly nice. Not factory, but I'll deal with a less-than-stock look in exchange for 2013 technology in my dash as opposed to 2005. No offense to those who still enjoy trying to remember which CD is in which slot of their six-disc changers, though.
