To avoid buying a touchscreen with this ghost/phantom touch issue, I bought BMW part no. 8709339 (also designated 6558709339), which according to realoem.com is the final version of this part. Mine came out of a 2020 F87 M2, as it happens.

My question: when the dealers changed out your touchscreens, did you receive part no. 8709339? I ask because it appears from your posts that the replaced screen does not exhibit the ghost/phantom touch problem, and I am trying to determine if part no. 8709339 is known to resolve this problem. Thanks very much!
Responding to my own question, I installed the final version of the 8.8" touchscreen (BMW part no. 8709339) and it works perfectly. No phantom touch issues, even in direct sunlight.

While I'm on the subject I would like to recommend this glass screen protector. It works exactly like the Belkin glass protectors do for iPhones. The quality is extremely impressive, especially for the price, and the installation instructions are clear and very thoughtful. I highly recommend it for anyone with a touchscreen who has OCD about fingerprints on the screen and the like. The only potential negative with the protector is that it has a glare if hit with direct sunlight, as would happen in a convertible when the sun is directly behind the car. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FR3868...t_details&th=1

Hope this is helpful.
