There is no official date yet for IOS6. Last I saw, was that the current beta is 2 and earlier beta versions of IOS have had up to 5 or 6 beta versions before general distribution. So the current advice of "fall" (Autumn) seems about as current as anything.

You can update the iDrive software by downloading first onto a USB stick from a PC. Insert the USB in the slot under the glove compartment (think it's that one) and look for the software update option in iDrive. Obviously you shoudn't interrupt the update after it starts.
