Remote Software Upgrade - Yuck

This is the MOST overly technically complex and nonsensical program I have ever seen. Otherwise known in technical circles as "being German".

1. Why only download WHILE DRIVING? That's stupid.
2. At completion, it MAY or MAY NOT offer to install. WHY? (manual says if car is too hot it won't)
3. After mine downloaded and said "you will be notified when installation is possible" - when I came back to turn on the car - NOTHING. No update. Search for new update - "No remote software upgrade available".

Brilliant. When my Volvo is more straightforward than my BMW, that's CRAZY.
