Business Radio, the standard radio. Not available with nav.
Professional radio, two tuners, available as a stand alone option in EU or standard in the USA. Comes with either bus or pro nav.
Bus nav only has the arrows, no map display.
Pro nav has the map display and it comes with the bigger screen.
Bus nav uses the MAS-K computer. One disc drive. Nav disc can be taken out after the data is read and loaded into the memory after the route is activated.
Pro nav comes with the CCC computer and has two disc drives. One DVD drive for the nav disc and one above it for CD's.
Bus nav is n/a in the US BTW.
MP3 playback is only possible with radio pro, therefore in every US E60 and all E60's with nav.

My understanding is that the 2004 E60's (US and Canada) without NAV had the business radio. I believe that this ended with the 2005 MY production vehicles.
I was told that my 03/04 production E60 had a business radio and could not play MP3's even with software updates.

They changed the standard and made radio pro the new standrad radio. NOW all NA E60's are coming with radio pro, even if they are not equipped with nav.
