The Professional radio is actually not any different to the Business version, it simply has the addition of the iDrive controller and screen.

As far as sound quality goes, it's OK, but not stellar. The lack of dedicated tweeters definitely lets it down, in my opinion. My previous car (a 2009 Renault Megane) had a far superior sound system standard, quite simply due to a dedicated set of tweeters on the dashboard.

The Professional setup is fine for everyday radio listening and music, maybe I'm just being too much of an audiophile (I'm a bit of an AV nut, so biased ). Quite curious to hear what the HK system sounds like for comparison purposes.

iDrive is awesome and definitely worth it though, being able to use it to scroll through songs from a USB stick plugged in underneath the armrest, as well as browse phone contacts and dial, is a great feature.
