BMW Map Updates
Anyone else frustrated by the lack of BMW Map Updates for iDrive 7.0?
The latest map update appears to be Australia 2019-2. We're almost in August 2020, and there have been significant changes to major thoroughfairs in multiple Australian cities. It esentially forces me to use Google Maps rather than the built-in mapping solution. 12 months between map updates seems like a long time, especially given the fee that BMW charge for access to their updates. Just wanted to have a little rant, thanks for listening! |

Are you looking at the USB map update section of connected drive portal? There's a BMW map update tool which you download to a PC and then install to the car via USB. That's 'free' for 3 years. I admit the OTA updates I've had with BMW over a number of years I can count on one hand though.

Maps are manually downloaded and installed, I don't think they are OTA here - probably just too big and I think we're still stuck on 3G. Pretty sure I'm on my second update for this year.

I just checked the download manager program on my computer... it's still saying 2019-2 is the latest version and has been downloaded. Is there a way to check and download from the car's idrive system in the Australian delivered cars?

I picked up my brand new 330i on the 2nd Nov. It also has the same map version, 2019-2.
My other car is a MY17 Jaguar F-Pace. It gets map updates every 3 months. If a car company the size of Jaguar can do every 3 months, surely BMW can as well. |

IDrive7 OTA 07.2020.54 arrived yesterday. Map Update 2020.1 arrives today.
BMW needs to slow down. I don't think I can handle anymore updating. Lol. |
