F60 DME / ECU software version

DME / ECU software version
Hey everyone, me again with more questions....
As I am trying to understand things more, and looking at ECU tunes for my 2018 F60 per my other thread, I am seeing where several people are recommending updating software despite not having any obvious issues. To me, that makes sense, as 6+ years is a long time without "fixes".
My car appears to be original 2017 software & am curious if it's worth going down the path of dealer updates, but I cannot find what DME / ECU software my car has, other than the TB & MB numbers (006.001.044).
Is there an easy way to find what version I have, without the dealer (2+ hours away)?
Is there a PDF online somewhere that explains the version updates (not TB & MB)?
Thanks!

It's not recommended to update if you plan to flash. It will cause headaches for tune updates as you will most likely have to bench flash it every time there is an update (usually $250). I run bootmod3 and one thing that would make that suck is some settings require a reflash just to enable something or adjust say the burbles etc. As always though speak with the vendor you want to use and get all the info.
