There are two types of vehicles the latest iDrive system is fitted to, SP15 and SP18. This refers to the underlying hardware. Looking at your BMW I can see that it’s fitted with the SP15 hardware.
The latest July 2020 software will certainly improve the user experience in all models with the latest iDrive unit. However, there are a few features unavailable for SP15 vehicles, Android Auto is one example. I don’t have any further information whether this will be offered in the future as a retrofit I’m sorry to say.
Have others found this to be the case?

If you have a build date July 2019 or newer (Model year 2020) 5 series then you will get android auto with the update. The update itself does not install AA, you have to wait for BMW to push it. Took 6 days for mine to show up.
