And those people with these NBT2 EVO maps, are there still "full base map" updates available for them as well? And how do they do those? Just like our NEXT maps, with an FSC code and a 20 GB flash drive?
Most all BMW Cars come with Telematics to support BMW Assist, Intelligent emergency call, Real-Time Traffic Information, Remote Services. Connected Drive, etc., and these operate on car SIM card, which in case of NBT2 it is a 4G.

Base map udpate is made same way as older NBT NEXT Map is. OTA Updates a normally included for first 3 years, not for the life of the car.
