Aha that’s the myth! I used to think the same, that mine didn’t work.
For reasons known only to themselves, BMW push the remote (OTA) software updates out at a much delayed rate to the actual version that’s available.
Was convinced mine didn’t work and then all of a sudden one came through, the 11.2019.70 version, that’s the latest remote software release out there. If your car is on 03/2020.40, you’ll never get a remote software update through until they push out a later version than that as a remote/OTA version.
My car was in a few weeks ago, eventually a conversation with the right guy (master technician) at the dealership explained all this to me. Unfortunately many BMW reps either don’t understand this themselves or can’t explain it clearly enough, which leaves us, the user thinking we have cars that aren’t updating remotely and should be - when in reality, they never will until the software version later than the one you already have is pushed out OTA...
