I would like to see that especially when BMW itself stated this in paper already:

These new features are made possible by hardware advances and are not "retrofittable" to pre-September builds.


Perhaps that person was refering to the upcoming USA BMW-Trips.com (Europe already has BMW-Routes.com) that will allow Navigation trip plans to be configured in the site and then downloaded into the CIC by USB. Something like VW NavCompanion.
