My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
I bought today a GPS sat nav device to my car.
Compared to the factory Pro nav for 3460 € my Navigon 7210 for 200€ seems a bargain.
All speed cameras are also listed!
20 € for a quarterly update for all European countries for 2 years is also priced right.
Did test drive it today, works perfect and the woman voice is nice also.
She does complain too much about speeding, though.

Try both in a tunnel, and you'll see why the factory mounted GPS with input from a speed sensor and steering wheel can be nice to have as well 
You sure you have the navi pro in your E60? Looks like your screen is of the narrow type, not the wide. Maybe I'm wrong though...

Did take the cable off for the picture... 
but they say the battery is good for more than one hour.
The stands "stand" is from "Celly Disk" with 3M clue for 9,90€.
