There's a bunch of modules in the boot. Each individual of them represents a part of what you see on the display. The display itself is usually generated by the navigation drive or the video module, so that's why it's working.

It looks like your radio (BM24 or BM54 Professional) is dead. You might need to check the connectors, reseat them, check the fuse on the back of the radio (where the cable is attached) or worst case replace the radio module. They don't come cheap unfortunatly.

Here's a picture, where the radio is supposed to sit in the E39 (don't mind, that everything is bend, it's a picture from a crashed car):

The unit has a sticker like this:

Older ones are BM24, newer ones are BM54

If you have to buy a replacement unit, make sure you get one with the same connectors. The older ones had round pins, the newer ones square pins. There exist converter cables, but you might get the right thing in the first place.
