May take as little as 4 hrs, but often more. Since dealer has to log in and communicate BMW's system (do not have locally) ,I've experienced multiple reload attempts, failed communication networks, etc. And as others have stated, it normally sets all your coding youve done back to baseline.
Dealers charge 2 hours as a rule for Updates.
