I'll be able to confirm tomorrow if Remote Software is now standard. Attachment 2174590
I can confirm that I saw the Remote Software Upgrade menu option in the 2002 3 series this morning while at the dealer waiting to state inspections the be completed on my vehicle.

It is possible that this will come in an update for the MY2020 cars since it is in the manual
2002 3 series? I suspect you mean 2020?

2019+ G20 3 series has remote software upgrading in iDrive7.

G30 2020 doesn't have the full suite of updated modules that the new 3 series, X5, etc has. Those should come with LCI.

Looks like BMW threw in iDrive7 (lite) to the 2020 G30 as a marketing ploy. Maybe to combat people who likes Audi's revised MMI.
