Map Update

Thats strange. If I remember correctly there was some feature in the download manager to extract and save the file to the USB rather that copying the raw file to the USB. Did you you do something like that ?
One other thing I read is that the file is only valid for the car that was selected when you logged in with your BMW ID to get the map, but you probably already did that :)
The format of the USB should be NTFS eller ExFat (for Windows) or FAT32 (for MAC) I was told. Could be a source of error if different.
 
Once you have the map on the USB, its simple. Insert the USB in the central usb port of the car, a message will come up "There is a Map Update, would you like to install it?" click "Yes". Wait 20 minutes and its finished. Did that in january and it worked fine.

When it comes to the BMW Download Manager it kept crashing all the time. It got the following advice which worked for me (I am on a Macbook Pro):

  • Open the Font Book (Applications → Font Book)
  • Use: File-menu → Restore standard fonts → Proceed
