I have a 2010 E92 with a 12/09 build date.

I was able to update directly to the 2019 NA Premium using a USB stick and the
file I downloaded from the web. I now have the new data and the new 45 degree map views. It updates the navigation system, not just the map data.

However, I was not able to get the activation code to extract from my vehicle using the tool. It repeatedly gave me a code that was incorrect and never extracted the correct VIN from the car. Our cars (from this manufacture period) did not have the VIN programmed into the system where the tool can get it.

I was able to get the activation code from someone that can do it using only the VIN number of the car (like the Dealer does) and I paid a few $ to get it. You can find several on e-Bay that will provide the code and give you a direct link to the map data so that you do not have to spend hours getting the data from a random site.
