In the US, and likely most other markets (but I hesitate to say all as I don't know all market configurations), BMW doesn't sell the 5-Series with Live Cockpit Plus. It only sells with Live Cockpit Professional (6U3). Both iDrive 7 and 6U3 are listed on my window sticker as well.
It is also important to remember. BMW heavily marketed the car as including iDrive 7 and made zero mention of its limitations compared to the X5 which already had iDrive 7. ALL BMW marketing materials then, and now, still made reference to iDrive 7 features by saying all you need is "Operating System 7" and "Live Cockpit Professional" which we learned isn't true.
Even more galling... The Connected Drive Supported Feature Matrix that was available at the time in 2020 also said all you need is 6U3 and iDrive 7. I have attached that document to this post. Oh... And my printed and digital manual BOTH say RSU is supported!!
