In other regions you can get the Business Nav with small screen and Pro Nav with bigger screen. Only Pro Nav with big screen for US.

I am guessing from the names that the Business Nav is an acceptable, company paid option for folks in EU and maybe UK in particular where a lot of BMWs are sold leased as a company car perk, where the Pro nav is too pricey to be allowed.

Also, I think anyone in the US willing to pony up big bucks for the Nav will go all in and get the big screen version. In UK, these are ~1500 vs. 2000 UK pounds for Business vs. Pro Nav.
