If you ever take the car to the dealership, say your headlights have water in them, they update the iDrive.

Talked to someone from the dealership and it seems that when they connect to the car, bmw forces the update. The person told me, the dealer has been looking into how to scan the car without updating but haven’t found away.

Not sure if any of that is true but it’s the reason I got when I complained about the update
