We don't get the 520d here either, what does the "professional" get you?
Professional pack gets you: HUD, Control Display (with 8.8" screen, TV etc), Professional Navigation, Voice recognition and Park Distance Control.

Hi Guys,
I have been reading here for a while and just wanted to share my excitement. Today I am picking up my first ever BMW and it's a 520d Sport Professional.
I have driven my previous car (1998 Mitsubishi Lancer) for 235,000km for the last 11 years. I put up with it and worked as hard as I could so I can afford a better car and ever since the E60 came out in 2003 I knew that is the car I wanted.
So today is finally the day, it's carbon black and has the 172M style 19" wheels. I will post a picture as soon as I pick it up!
