free B2K download won't download

One day I decided to look in the market for BF3. I noticed that four items were available. Close quarters, back to karkand (B2K), physical warfare and multiplayer update 6, these were all free. I download close quarters first and the rest maybe two week later. Everything download successfully but not B2K.

Does anyone know why, I would really like to have this download, oh also I did look into my xbox's storage of BF3. B2K was not there, even though that little download message appeared when I download it, you know that little pop up thing for xbox that appears at the bottom of the TV. OK well I really hope someone can help me.

Another thing I have heard that you need BF3 limited edition to have B2K and that was only available when you pre-order it. I did not pre-order it. So anything helpful would be nice, thank you.

    That is because B2K is contained in the file called "Battlefield 3 Update" with a size of 2.1 GB Once this is on your console you must start BF3, from the main menu open multiplayer, then open server browser and then click R3 to open your server browser filter and you must check all of the B2K maps or you won't find any games on the B2K expansion.

    When I select all the B2K maps in the filter they have the orange Exclamation point right next to the servers name. I know that means that I don't have the content. I still press "y" to join the sever away just incase there is some weird glitch were it's still displaying the exclamation.
    Once I do this and it brings me back to the main menu with a pop up stating "error information" continuing with " the server is now running content that you don't have, look in the store for additional avabile content or make sure that all your content is installed". I've looked in the store for anything that seems of help and nothings there (if you think theres anything in there I would still like to know), And like I've said before I have looked into my storage to see if it was downloaded Properly.
    Thank you once again.

    Have you verified that the file "Battlefield 3 Update" with a size of 2.1 GB is present on your 360's HDD?  You can do this by hitting the xbox button, scrolling all the way to the right, select system, then the hard drive, then games, and then BF3.

    Yes I selected "storage" then "hard drive" then "games and apps" then "battlefield 3" and within that is "battlefield 3 update" with a capacity of 2.1 GB

    If that file is present and you are getting the exclamation points in the serverbrowser stating that you don't have that expansion my guess is that B2K was corrupted during a game update.  Try re-downloading B2K cia the BF3 in game store to correct the error.

    When I go to the store, B2K is listed as 1,200 microsoft points. I didn't download it through the store I downloaded it through the "games" app on the xbox home screen. I also wouldn't want to pay for it seeing how its listed as a free item. Is there another way. Should I go to my storage, delete the "battlefield 3 update" (the one that contains B2K) and download again from where I first downloaded it?
