Maybe BMW's logic is not keeping up with the leap seconds on the GPS timing...if so, they're behind the times as the last one was the end of 2016! There MIGHT be one the end of this year, but they haven't issued a report saying so. They usually occur about every 1.5-years or so. Reports indicate that the earth's rotation rate has sped up slightly, so haven't needed one since then.
GPS time is an incrementing number rather than a direct time format, and the TOD must be calculated from that.
