I think it is always best to have the latest ISTA/P on the car if possible. On the F10 chassis, 47.x is where they added the HUD Entertainment Options, so 46.1 would be undesirable for those with HUD Option. On the F30 chassis, the M-Performance Logo was added in 47.4 I think, so 46.1 would be undesirable for those with 6WA Extended Display Panel.
That said, car software updates are not provided by BMW under warranty without reason. The car needs to either have an ISTA/D diganosis indicating a problem with the car that requires new programming, or an active SIB (Service Bulletin) that requires new programming. The SIB route is the best option, as there has been quite a few on the F30 necessitating the car be programmed.
