I've just done the latest Euro Map updates and while the US version is probably different, I thought it worth giving feedback on a couple of oddities:

1. I had to input the Validation Code for the first time in 8 years of BMW USB map updates. It's previously sent me a code, but never asked for it when I've put the USB in. So I'd reccomend having the code details to hand before you start.

2. The iDrive alphanumerics interface for entering the validation code is different to the one used for entering map destinations. It's a very weird design where A-Z is 'wrapped' around the circle with three digits of the 10 possible in a greyed-out 'window' at the bottom. You have to actively select the digits window, turn the dial left/right to reveal 0-3/7-9, select the digit in the code, then toggle back to the letters.

I've no idea why they just didn't use the same interface as for map address entry. Initially, I couldn't understand why I couldn't select the digits, which are greyed-out when you're in capital letters mode.
