No reason to expect that the dealer would update the idrive software just because they were selling it. It can be a multi-hour process for them if they end-up having to do it a couple times which can happen frequently for the update to load correctly.
It is possible you can pay the dealer to update it to fix the slowness. On the other hand, since you just bought it, I polite request/complaint just might get some positive results. Just don't come off as intitiled to anything.

Also note that the CCC based idrive system is not the fastest in the world when it is fully updated and working properly. Post a pic of some of your idrive screens and the age of your software can probably be guessed. (at least if it's the older or newer version).

Yah, unfortunately, CCC is just slow as a slug (due to nav) and retards the whole system. I am actually pretty glad I have MASK, and just hooked up a nuvi.
