Fortunately the cars software doesn't need to be updated regularly. For BMW they would prefer its never updated.

Sounds like a programming issue. The version of ISTA/P in the car is out of date and is not working nicely in conjunction with the data on the DVD.
You can program individual modules, it just depends on the tools that are used. The dealer usually can not because they use an ISTA machine or SSS which walks them through test plans,etc - and it will force them to update multiple modules. However, if you use an autologic tool, or the factory tools which I have, you can program them on an individual basis.
The CCC unit will take a long time to program unless its flashed through the MOST BUS fiber optic connection. Pushing 500MB through OBDII takes a long time, and thats roughly the size of the CCC (CAAPL) program data.
It's possible that a quick recode using ISTA v43 daten files could solve the problem. Good luck getting it fixed. I put in the 2011 disks in my 2008 M3 and it loaded them no problem. It just said to turn the car off for five minutes and come back.
