As a Mac user it was definitely because of the extra files getting added. Other ways may work, but I FINALLY got it to work after several tries and downloads of a legit usb upgrade (£30) by:
enabling hidden files for finder
Type the following into 'Terminal' then hit the 'Enter' key:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
Next, type the following into 'Terminal', then hit 'Enter' on your keyboard:
killall Finder
You can now view hidden and temporary files through your Mac's file system.
Then unzipping the download file (not using the BMW Download Manager).
Copying over the zip with the one file and folder of all the maps to the USB
Then DELETING AND QUICKLY Ejecting the USB.
An hour later, my 2012 X5 (CIC) has had its first ever map update. Only one original owner and they never upgraded it so I was desperate to get some accurate maps.
My SanDisk 128GB I struggled with, but then added both the Finder and used a 64GB SanDisk SD card with an adapter and that worked a charm.
Definitely had to be the glovebox port for my model/year.
