The dealer at that time speculated that it wasn't able to update over the air because it was on such old software, and thought that it should be good for receiving regular updates over the air now. Well, it looks like it still doesn't work. Any reasons why this could be happening? I don't feel like taking this car to the dealer every time there is a new software update. I would really like to get over the air updating working properly.
I don't believe anyone has reported receiving 03/2020.xx OTA yet and certainly not 07/2020.xx. Current theory is that OTA will be at least 1 major release behind current major version ("n-1" protocol), which actually makes a fair bit of sense in the context of how BMW versions and releases its car software. But even that delay seems suspect at this point, it might end up being "n-2" or worse or random. For example, Canada just started to receive 11/2019.xx in Aug 2020.
