Looking for screen protector for 2023 X3 without Premium Package
Hey all! I've tried 3 different screen protectors and I'm slowly losing my mind, as I try to find one that actually fits.
I have a 2023 X3 without the Premium Package, so I believe the screen is 10.3 inches, but the frame is larger than that. I've seen the Premium Package's 12.3-inch screen in person and it was less trapezoidal and more rectangular. Everything I've ordered is either too rectangular or short. I've attached a photo of one of the screen protectors I ordered against my screen. You can also see the difference in screens in the other image uploaded, with my screen type being the one on the top. Does anyone have any recommendations that fit this? Thanks a ton! |

I used this one on my '23 M40i and the fit was perfect.

Neat. Do they really work? As in sensitive to finger touch?

Yes, and they are great for cleaning off the fingerprints.

The best way to take care of your screen is to not touch it. I have yet to find a reason for touching the screen when I have the wheel control to go through all the settings without having to reach all the way to my screen.

I agree when using the BMW side, but CarPlay is somewhat easier to just smash buttons in the screen.

Why do you need "protection"?? My screen (2020 X3) appears to be faced with glass or a hard glass type material. Unless one would use a pointed or sharp object to touch the screen I can't see how it would become damaged.
Am I missing something? If not, then the last thing I would do is cover it with anything. |

Yep this is precisely my reason. I had a screen protector on my last vehicle too and felt completely fine wiping the screen off whenever because if I scratched it badly, it's a simple and cheap fix.

I’m not sure if anyone had an F25 but the screen on them was made of a material that got destroyed. I cleaned it with Invisible Glass and a microfiber cloth and it was ruined. Whatever coating that was on it came off with the glass cleaner. I wasn’t going to take the chance again .

The issue is not touching the screen, it's being able to spend ~$15 to regularly wipe the screen off without the risk of scratching the hell out of the glass. I'm not quite sure what's crazy about that. |

Yeah, 10 years from now when I replace the screen protector, the original screen will be flawless and another protector will go on. |
