I was told at my local BMW dealership in the UK that it would only download an update not the complete map. Therefore it should be a lot smaller, but what do they know. No one at the dealership seemed fully clued up as to how you did it or anything. Very poor knowledge of their own systems. Service dept' said they had only downloaded updates from pre installed BMW supplied, (very expensive), USB memory sticks. If you had a pre paid contract for various features, navigation included, they couldn't tell me how to download off the BMW Connected Drive app.

Somewhere in the instructions in the manual it suggests doing the update whilst driving - presumably you can't use the nav when this is going on.

Glad these things are free now
Got to the page to download the 2016-1 Europe Map update and have downloaded the BMW download manager which sits on my desktop. I've hit the button to start download but nothing happens. Anybody got an idea as to what I need to do to get it to work? I've a paid subscription till October 2018.
Not sure how to proceed. I've sent an email to BMW support but no reply as yet.

Just had a reply from BMW. I'm told that there is an issue with the website and that it has been passed to BMW Germany to sort out. Watch this space.

Well I downloaded it and it was the full 25 gig not just an update portion... and it took about 10 minutes to install, ignition on but engine off.

I have 38mbps fibre and it took about 2 hours to download using the PC installer, then another 10 mins to copy to the USB drive.

Well, with ADSL and a blinding download speed of 0.48mbps, 25 gig would take a while

Presumably the dealer could do the update with a service.
