How do I know what HU/iDrive I have?

I know it is iDrive 4 (or I believe it is), but can't seem to find out if I have NBT or NBT EVO. My car is a BMW F20 65 plate (I believe it was manufactured in July 2015 and first registered in late 2015/early 2016). Everything I look at says 03/2015 onwards, the F20 should have an NBT EVO but someone has informed me they believe it is NBT.

My VIN is 5C21628 if that helps anyone in helping me

The VIN lookups I've been able to access states I have a Business Nav package on the car. Then, when I looked up this video as research, the table shown at 01:36 into it seems to suggest Business Nav and Route maps are the NBT EVO: https://youtu.be/15YLJ5w_8DY?t=96

My maps version (which I've been told can help identify HU version) details state the current maps are:

Europa
BMW Group
101143.3.412
Road Map EUROPE Route
2015-2A

RL_EntryNav_Nav_F14421A


Any help in identifying would be much appreciated as I'm trying to scope out upgrade options, but identifying the HU/iDrive seems way more complicated than it should be

in case you have the "Route" Map installed you definitly have NO NBT EVO because Route Map is for Business Nav.. NBT EVO ist NAV Professional only ( Sa609) you have HU-B(asic) with Nav installed in your car

Thanks for the reply and the useful advice. What is HU-B? Never head of it as the BMW HU roadmap seems to be CCC, CIC, NBT and NBT EVO everywhere I look?! Is HU-B a version of NBT then?
