See my previous post. Have been dealing with issues and it seems it was the 3/2020 update that really undid us.
About 1-2 week ago there was an ota update, it seems to have restored the ability to push maps, destinations , etc... from app to vehicle. Anyone notice, it was a .30 update I think.?

Couldn't agree more and you'll find my commentary regarding ConnectedDrive all over the forum as BMW cannot fight their way out of a paper bag when it comes to software engineering competency. Also thanks for confirming the OTA to a new "point release" aka .30 as my operating theory has been that is the function of the OTA vs all new base releases, e.g., the 03/2020 require a dealer install.
Thankfully the 11/2019.55 release on my M850i received in December from a dealer upgrade has been solid. I do not have any need for service at this point but if that changes and I take the car in I will clearly state that they should not upgrade the iDrive version to 03/2020 just in case they think they will be doing me a favor in that process.
