Frugal’s assumption is correct. The info in post #3 is based on your navigation software which is uploaded to your internal hardrive...so as long as your navigation software is pretty much up to date (at least only a couple of years old)...then the POI (point of interest) features should be up to date (or pretty much up to date...not sure how COVID has affected some POIs that were active prior to the pandemic) and are not web based.
In fact, my 2013 f06 (which the pics are from in post #3) already lost its BMW Connected Drive feature because it was 2G...but the range info and refueling info etc is still there and works. I updated the navigation system in Dec 2018...so the nav map software is only like 3 years old now.

From reading some of the newer forums...it appears that BMW has settled on 2016+ for the ability to upgrade to 4G/5G. But there’s a lot of unhappy owners...so I’m not convinced that this is set in concrete yet in regards to the final decision of who can upgrade and/or how much it will cost to upgrade.
