There are/were some issues with different manufactures USB sticks. I had that problem with my F31 320d but have not encountered it with my current F25. My car is a September build 2013. BMW said they were not able to guarantee compatibility with all USB sticks coming onto the market.
You should be using a 32gb USB stick formatted to fat32 for map updates. I routinely successfully update my NBT maps as soon as they are released. I have never tried anything larger than 32gb.
I suggest you try another USB stick manufacturer.
