I thought that on the G2x (and other newer models) that all software is upgradable over the air. Or am I missing something?
While I have the same question, I also think I have an educated guess.

There are iDrive updates, which are OTA, but there are lower-level "firmware" level car updates that impact things such as the turbo performance, which can only be upgraded at your dealer.

Perhaps someone with more technical experience can shed more light.
