Programing ECU and dealer direct / factor remote updates

I am looking at programing the ECU to give me Multibeam Intelligent Head Lights and Race mode in my E53.

When the dealer preforms a software upgrade or MB remotely preforms an upgrade, is the entire system reset so I have to do the upgrade again or does the software upgrade only upgrade the modules that it needs to upgrade.

I had it go both ways with cars and upgrades in the past.

Can someone with experience in this chime in and let me know what to expect?

Have you asked the people that will be doing the programming?

Yes, but I want to hear from people who have added features via OBDII uploads.
