Assuming we're talking US here:

MP3 with non-nav would mean radio pro is now standard in the US.
But it isn't according to some sources in Munich.
If it were, why are there ppl with brand new E60's and no nav without MP3...?

This, however, is very interesting and need to be clarified by more members that take delivery of their new E60 in the US without nav.
In any case, those cars are rare, since the majority of the E60's come with nav, therefore with nav pro and radio pro. That means, wait for software update in September.

Which trunk piece are you referring to? I'm having trouble seeing any difference between the M5 pictures and current models in the trunk area.

[/quote]Ahhhh - it's flat. I've always loved the contoured look of the current trunk - to each his own I suppose.
