No biggie - If you download the incorrect version to a USB flash drive and try to install it, you'll get an error message. You can see the s/w version currently installed in your car via iDrive. The information (how-to) is in your owner's manual.

Martin -

After you tick that box agreeing to the terms and condition and hit Download Software, your browser should start downloading a file with a .bin file extension.

Once downloaded, don't attempt to open it.

Have a USB thumb-drive ready, preferably with nothing on it and copy the .bin file to it.
Stick it in the car's USB port and initiate the update through the iDrive menu. Forgot the exact location, probably under Telephone > Bluetooth (hit the control left to show sub-menu items list if you are taken straight to the contacts) > Option button on the iDrive controller.

Please this worked for you.
