why not. 
it's already a sleeper, that thing would be untouchable for a long time. active autowerke did a twin supercharger set up for the e39 m5 and they're claiming 600hp at the crank on a stock car. add the headers, exhaust and so on and that thing will be a beast. imagine how much more power you can get from the new e60 m5! plus the motor is well built with forged internals. i wouldn't recommend too much high boost, you really don't need that much, avlittle forced air and that thing would scream. i was talking to a tech at my bmw dealer and they said M power had the car at 14,000 rpm with 725hp before they detuned. i don't know if i can believe it, but i can say it's possible coming from formula one backgrounrd. the only thing i've seen (on the threads) is they had the engine at 10,000 rpm with no problem. i feel this motor can handle the extra power. so if i would recommend any one to supercharge it would be active autowerke! great service and reliable power not pushing to hard to the limit, just right were it needs to be.
so as i said before, why not!
