There are several dozen computer systems in BMWs, and each has its own software. The ISTA update in question affects certain of these other systems but not others (like the DME). It's not done over the air as there is a greater chance of bricking the car. It's annoying, certainly, but understandable. At least we now have software updates for iDrive 7.
iDrive 7 will update the entire system, not just iDrive 7 & maps btw
