If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Why is it so hard to believe that the dealer would charge money for an update? It requires a service bay be used for a few hours while your car is updated. And for what? So the customer can see a higher software version on their iDrive screen?
It sounds like BMW did terrible job of programming the system. It is really unthinkable at an era of weekly updating system of phones and computers, the infortament system take so long and so much risk to just update once.
