E70 upgrades to an E53 - Are they possible??

Does anyone know if any of the following are possible to upgrade the E53 version?

1. Angel Eyes stay on at all times regardless of headlights

2. Automatic Trunk open / close

3. Installation of front and rear cameras on the MK4 system

4. Upgrading the yellow puddle lights in the mirrors to the new LED blue ones on newer BMWs.

5. What is the latest version of the MK4 software out there? Anyone know where to download from? I saw 2 links from a post here but they had been removed. Any ideas??

6. Are the maps downloadable as well from anywhere?

7. Anyone tried to install the after market running boards they sell on eBay? OEM is almost 6-700 dollars while AM is only about 300. Can one tell?

Thanks for any of these you can answer.:thumbup:
