there's a lot of noise around the manual USB Map Update (2019-2) failing the validation on BMW download manager. BMW Australia have not been able to help other users who have reached out to them. (whirlpool forum)
I had the same issue when the program was validating and it failed. thought I'd share my 2 cents here. My understanding is that it actually downloads the whole map .zip file in your user / bmw / dl folder (Windows). it's just the verification failing on the BMW download manager screen. in the past I have copied the file directly from this location onto the USB and it installs just fine on the car, as there was another error popping on a while ago. I am going to give this a shot and will provide an update if it worked. p.s. this is for users who have the manual USB update already paid for! |

I managed to get it downloaded and validated by using a Mac running Mojave 10.14.6
My windows machines had the validation issue.

The map is downloaded via the BMW download manager so not using a browser really, unless I am missing something.. |

download manager is a software installed on the computer. if you are asking which browser I installed it from, it was MS edge, definitely not IE. I will try downloading the program via chrome again, but not sure if that would change things. unless there is way to directly download the map file from a webpage. |

If you eligible for the maps via connected drive just go to your dealership and they will do the upload for you. I had mine updated last week at the dealer and they stated it comes under warranty as I am eligible for the maps. It took 7 mins to be done.
Check with your local dealer if having trouble downloading via connected drive portal. cheers
