The Proffessional Navigation is standard but you have to pay extra for TV

Prof-nav ain't standard... Is it? Not in Denmark

Pretty sure it is in the UK, which is why they also made it standard in the B5.

By the way, you really don't want to try living with the "Business" version only... it's fairly rubbish - am hoping the "Profi" version is better!

I looked at the list of extra equipment my dad got from his dealer.

Prof-nav ain't standard in Denmark, but is prof-nav, sat-nav?

I mean, does prof-nav operate in real time?

As stated previously the Sat Nav is standard on a UK E60 M5. This does not include TV which is an option.

... as opposed to what???

Professional Navigation is just the hi-spec version of the BMW sat-nav system - Business Navigation is the alternative - Business just has voice commands and arrows on the iDrive screen, Professional has a map onscreen, etc.

No more queues on the highway? =)

do you reckon its worth getting the professional version?
plus what do you think is a better deal? the German base M5 (without GPS, CD changer, parktronic, and sunroof) or the UK M5 (which does have the lot)
[Germans one is 59,000 pounds, and UK is 61,000 pounds (approx.)]
whats your view?

Get the professional SatNav. It's a wider screen with more options and will add to the resale value of the car as well.

If you're getting a RHD UK spec car, you're always better off getting a UK car. The warranties are longer and the resale is stronger. Nowadays, the difference in price is negligible once you add in the options. BMW GB have learned their lesson from a few years ago when cars were 20% cheaper in continental Europe.

Is this a UK car? If not a demo, is it one of the first customer cars then which would mean July / August delivery?
