You are running the latest software. There is no software update available.

To perform the software update via USB stick, you will require the USB audio interface (included in optional equipment codes 6FL, 6NK or 6NL) as well as the Control Display and iDrive. This offer is only available for selected vehicles manufactured after March 2010. Your vehicle can be updated provided that you have the ‘Software update’ option on your ‘Settings’ menu in the Control Display

So if I have the latest firmware...I am assuming the download was bad
iDrive software is different than the ConnectedDrive software. Goto your dealer and ask for a key printout. It'll tell you exactly what I-Level (software version) your car is currently running.

Updating the iDrive software is not user updatable. It has to be done with ISTA or WinKFP.
