I'm still waiting too. My current MKIV 2009 DVD still doesn't show local information / infrastructure installed from 2007.
I have a "portable" automotive MS CE based GPS with NAVTEQ maps and those have been updated quarterly and are currently up to date.
About 1 year ago opened a support ticket relating to BMW maps. Their DB is most likely up to date. They just haven't updated their 2008-2009 map disks to BMW - but selling 2009 as current and not really current.

Its kind of interesting what they stated and the closing of the "ticket".
Saw a bunch of changes at NAVTEQ when Nokia bought them - Larry Kaplan is the CEO - maybe you should write to him?
