If these are still the idrive 6 units then the dyi isn’t easy , but can be done via esys and some other software tools.

Using esys takes a bit of learning and the process involves coding the region code on the unit. But be warned that people learning to use esys have bricked there car ecus as it’s easy to hit default ecus.

There is a product called feature installer which can do various reprogramming of the infotainment system including region change and adding NZ maps etc. I used a guy on trade me after doing a coding mistake and coded my unit back to factory order. Just needed a laptop ,enet cable and downloaded the software and a software code is given.  Not sure if Ronald is on here ? But this is his trade me store. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/accessories/listing/4793841724

I've just gone through his process and created a guide that might help you out (more-so done for myself so I can reference it later if required 😄)
The steps may not be exactly the same for your newer (2017 vs 2021) car.
