G20 software update

My car is still on 11/2018.75 and when I took it to the dealership they wanted to charge me £1000s for it. Apparently it has something to do with the head unit being out of date, has anyone else experienced this or is it just my local dealer?

Doesnae sound right to me. Try a different dealership.
If it's a software update an independent garage should be a lot less.
What exactly is the problem anyway? Is it all working fine?

Head unit is not out of date. It's 1.5 hours labour charge max - who is your dealer

I went to an offical BMW dealership nearby called Cooper Sunderland in Boldon UK. I haven't taken the car anywhere else since.

Maybe try Lloyds in Newcastle. Give them a ring and explain what it is you would like do to. Should be easy to arrange that way without them "seeing the car first", as there nothing wrong with it, and the can lookup your car via VIN and see your current ilevel

You'd like the i-level of your car updating to 20-07. Both halliwell Jones & Williams
Manchester have done this before for only 1 or 1.5 hours labour charge
