Go to Navigation, scroll down to 'Settings', then to 'Position & Version' followed by 'Version' and on to 'Version Information', which should show whether you've updated to 2019-2. I think, from memory, that's all you need, but it is reasonably intuitive, even for someone as ancient as me! So far as you having the larger screen, as your X1 is a little 'older' than mine I cannot be absolutely sure if you have iDrive 6, but perhaps someone else can comment on that.
I don't know whether you would have had to accept the message you had on-screen for the over-the-air update, or if it was then actioned, but I've asked my son if he had to accept or if it was automatic on his 1 Series (he has iDrive 6 too) and will update idc.
UPDATE: My son says he had to accept the update and it applied more or less immediately whereas on previous over-the-air updates its taken approx 15 minutes to apply.
