I believe the problem is the software takes a long time to download (the car must be left connected to computer overnight!) and BMW are refusing to reimburse any dealers who install the software. Those who got the update got it as a good will gesture. I think this issue only affects older cars, newer ones will come with the updated software.
Guessing this update is for DCT
