I'd like as much info on this as poss before I approach my dealer.
No you cannot. You have to ask your dealer, as each car (depending on it equipment) may have a different update (since there is an update for each and every ECU on the car...and are at least 10 of them!!). So, the dealer needs to plug the car and connect to the BMW server in order to find out which update(s) is for the specific car.
