We had a map update in the US yesterday. Mine automatically downloads it in the background as you drive. No need for any download manager or even a computer. When it is done, a message pops up on the idrive saying update completed. Is it different in Europe?

I guess that's highly dependent on the market. In Norway at least, we get the latest innovations after everybody else...

it is not different, but we like to get the new stuff ASAP, and downloading from your computer is probably much faster than waiting for the car to download 30Gb worth of data.

That's how it happens in the UK and the Netherlands.

In Norway, I have never received an OTA Map Update, no matter how long I wait. I did receive an iDrive OTA update once though.

The map update is not OTA.
Verification and downloading via the BMW Download Manager app must be carried out.
At least that's how it works for me.

I've certainly had maps updated over the air several times in the last couple of years.

Does any one know what the situation is with post July 2020 cars with live maps?
My car has the latest software, but maps are still 2020-2.

Just use the download manager and download the full 2020-3 map. Doesn't take very long

The issue is that I don't believe post July 2020 have a hard drive any longer, and the map is supposedly streamed live. Unless I'm mistaken.

No, they do and there is a hard drive for maps.the "live" name is deceiving in that regard, it really just means it'll use the internet to lookup place names when you search

There's just isn't the hard drive for music collection.

That is the latest version.

On iDrive Press Nav then settings then update and it will show current version in the car

Updated my EU cards today to 2020.3. It’s so time consuming to download the 30 GB data, move it to a usb stick and install it in the car. Everything together it took me around two hours.

You will need to go to your country specific connected drive page and of course you will need to have optioned map updates when the car was purchased.
