Software Update: Notification of Newest Versions?
What is the easiest way to check if my 2016 X6 is operating with the newest software version? In December 2015, I downloaded and installed (via usb memory drive) the software, and would like to know if there have been any updates since? Does BMW send emails when updates are ready to download? Thanks!

There are two different software updates. Those done for media and communication via usb flash drive and those done by service center via ICOM and ISTA-P. The former is only needed if you have new phone or OS version that is giving you trouble. The ladder is done if there is bulletin and vehicle is in for service. Dealer will not email you.

^^ This. These updates are either reactive to a service issue or proactive based on a recall, or just done while your vehicle is in for service. They typically need the vehicle overnight when performing these, as the vehicle needs to "go to sleep".
