I've seen this situation before from many other posters regarding OTA updates. Often, it will never finish the download and start the update until the car has been driven for an hour or more or until the battery is charged to a sufficient level before starting the update.

I've also seen this on my 2020 X7 but it's very short lived since I put about 300 miles a week or more on my car. However the time period from first notification to being able to actually start the update process is less than a day. Most likely due to the fact that I drive my car around 1400 miles per month so the battery is always close to being fully charged. I drive it almost every day.

The longest my car has sat without being driven is 3 days.
