The difference will lie in the Board Computer display and Energy Control gauge (instant consumption). In vehicles without navigation or Business Navigation, the computer display is smaller and the Energy Control is analog. In vehicles with Professional Navigation, the display is expanded under the tachometer and the Energy Control is digital. With the higher-spec instrument panel, it is also possible to display other info, such as Music/Artist info on your current track, radio station, etc...

I've attached pics from the owner's manual for ease of visualisation.
Thanks for the clarification. Guess even the top model 35i without Prof Navigation will also have the cheaper version of the speedo display. Wondering if you have any real life pic showing the the OnBoard Computer display and Energy Control gauge without Prof Navigation? Do you know if the display lighting will be orange in color or same as the better display that will change from daylight setting to night setting? Tried to search the web but only see pics of the better display. Thanks in advance.
