Thanks to everyone on this forum, and on this thread for the awesome instructions.

Today(a few minutes back) I was finally able to update my maps from 2013 to 2018 Premium NA, with the resources available on this thread.

I had to make many attempts in getting the car detect the USB stick. That was the only issue I faced. The FSC key from the generator worked like a charm, and once the car detected the memory stick(out of 8), the contents from all four folders were easily downloaded to the car system.

I found two things about the car- The idrive update software available for free in BMW's website can be used only from USB port under the armrest in the center.

For map upgrades or pulling the 1B-hex file, the USB port in the glovebox has to be used.
