Thanks for the heads up.
Just renewed usb map updates for another year as my car is over 3 years old( actually got 3.25 years free)

Also renewed RTTI which saves me hours by not getting stuck in jams.

I just wish the download from their website was quicker!

I've just been to the UK site and it is saying the latest version for manual download is 2020-2 - did you download version 2020-3 and install it ok ?

Really strange. Went again tonight - see screen shot saying there is a more current version available - 2020-2 !!!!! I already have 2020-2 installed and have 2 years remaining of map updates.

I just go in via the download manager. Don't see your screen at all. Suggest you get the download manager and suspect you will then get offered 2020-3

Yep confirmed the one I downloaded yesterday was 2020-3

Assume they have several servers and perhaps one of them hasn't been updated hence still seeing 2020-2??

Downloaded yesterday, took about an hour, then a bit longer to unzip and write to a USB stick.

Installed on the way to work this morning, just under 40 minutes

Are we supposed to receive an OTA map update for 2020-3?
I have iDrive7 but still can't figure out what version I have as there are two displayed on the screen

I think that means you have the full 2019-3 maps for Europe and you've received OTA updates for UK/ROI

Personally I always like to have the latest full update seeing as how it's pretty simple to update but unless you're driving in Europe it probably won't make much difference for you

Ota are small subsets of map data

Had my g30 since 2017 and only had 1 ota update which was just after I picked the car up. Updated every quarter with full update to usb and not seen any ota updates since

Road Map Europe LIVE 2020-3 (For idrive 7 headunits) was released today.

I assume it'll start appearing on update managers over the next week.

I just checked for my ID7 ‘lite’ and it’s still showing 2020-2 for my VIN. I’ll keep checking
