BMW has utilized OTA updates for a couple years now with major releases coming out in March, July and November on an 'arbitrarily rolling' basis by region (a 3-6 month lag or longer is common). I'm not familiar with Tesla's rollout of its software updates, but I suspect it's quicker than BMW. remote software upgrades are downloaded to the vehicle in two ways:
1) downloaded directly to the vehicle via its cloud server
2) downloaded to the MyBMW app then to the vehicle

this video shows the latest available OTA update currently making its way around the world
