Alternatively, if I am in my car, I use that app (google maps inside my bmw remote) to pin point the exact address and then enter it manually into the BMW nav or just send it to the car.

I never use "points of interest" in the BMW nav database. Since the app uses google maps and it is drawn from the internet, it is as close as you can get to "now" data.
I am talking about entering an exact address and the BMW Navi taking me to a destination often 10 blocks away. Frustrating to the point that I don't use it at all anymore.
