anyone can verify that the 16.2 s/w upgrade will allow mp3 playback like the guys overseas are claiming.
am thinking of taking my 520 in - since it's only on dunno-what (never upgraded since i got the car in dec 2003)

[/quote]NOPE!
Radio Professional is REQUIRED for MP3 playback!
Radio Business is unable to play/decode MP3 files.
Navigation Business and Navigation Professional both have Radio Professional!
On Navigation Business you can enable the MP3 playback by getting the newest software, CIP 16.1 or 16.2 or higher (if available).
On Navigation Professional you will be able to do so in September when the software update is available.
The standard radio on an E60 is Business! This can not support MP3 files!
If you have Logic7 or HiFi soundsystem it DOES NOT automatically mean you have radio Professional.
In the US you ONLY have radio Professional if you have nav. In this case you have Navigation Professional and have to wait for the software update that will be released in September (hopefully).
