I just bought a used BMW 2021 cabriolet 230i

I would like to update my Idrive 6 and the map in the car.

I have read that I need a BMW Update Manager applicationto be used with the USB port on the central console.

I cannot find one anywhere on the internet. The dealer charge me 100$ for the update and my numerical service say that it is free until march 25th 2025. My car is presently on storage in my garage.

What can I do?

Thanks for your help

Create a connected drive account, register your car, and download the Maps.
Put them on a usb stick, and update
I live in Holland, and the Benelux update over the air.
Europe by usb stick

I have a Canadian account and nowhere I can find your suggestion. Kinda weird.
It seem as this is different in Europe compared to ton America.

Will still look for an answer.
Thanks
