MKII

Yes its plug and play, no you dont need a CD unless you upgrade the Nav computer itself.

Upgrading the screen to 16:9 is a very simple plug and play. here's the link for it 2000 M5 MKII to MKIV Upgrade

For the navigation computer, you have the MK2. That would work with the new screen. The MK3 is faster and the MK4 is DVD based.

Great upgrade. The 16:9 takes about 10 years off of the look of the interior. Several people thought that I bought a new car.

Well it's personal prefrence. I've had a 16:9 screen sitting in the garage for 3 months now but I still have original in.
I like the bigger screen, but I don't like the way it looks

No need to get petty. Just because its easier, does not necessarily make it better. BMW's nav can do everything that the aftermarket ones can do.
