Needless to say, this will probably be the last over the air update from BMW that I accept...

I won’t do them either have them turned off .. car run fine not doing any updates

Now, I am scared to proceed with the update. The software is already downloaded and it is prompting to do the installation. Is it possible to remove that notification/software from the system?

You can ignore it and it will eventually expire.

Or just don’t update. There is nothing beneficial (or even noticeable) in the update.
