It's not that you can't update over USB, it's they've made it extremely expensive and painful to do so.

Yes, I totally agree with your comments, however I believe our lines are crossed. Usb map updates in US cars is possible if you have right maps in right format. If you are correct and BMW has completely stopped providing this format then I am surprised, it could certainly prove problematic for people outside a 3G/4G cell network and indeed for dealers.
I download maps for Europe from “connected drive” onto usb and the files include an fsc file and are VIN specific (or so it says?), I wonder how this security feature is being by-passed?
