When I check my vehicle for software updates on www.bmw.com, I get this "nie prox" in the model field. I also saw it somewhere else, like where you could see all options of your vehicle, I forgot where it was, probably on bmw website as well.

Looks like a bug. When was the last time your car was programmed at the dealership.

I've always wondered about this too. I also have the 2018 model with same thing showing whenever I checked for update. I recently updated my idrive through dealer and it's still there now so don't know what it is, doesn't seem software related.

It was like that from day 1, before and after the update.
