My experience is that dealers do it usually (other than in case of "problems") out of goodwill, especially when you point out to them that you bought such an expensive car and expect it to be up-to-date at least in its young life. We got it done with wife's G02. Initially the dealer stated they would only update the ECUs for enabling Android Auto but I told them to please flash complete car and they did just that. I got home and checked it myself via ESYS with latest data files to make sure they didn't bull.... me. All good. Same for my M850i I told the dealer there was a new software update (20-07-545) that the car didn't have and they flashed it completely (all ECUs). So I guess it's also a matter of insisting a bit and making a point. Right BMW does not pay them perhaps, but a complete flash does not require that much interaction once it runs, especially if you update more ECUs in one unique procedure.
