Actually I saw this a bit when I was shopping used 2 Series. My impression was that it was more common with cars that had not been garaged. I wondered if the more frequent and more dramatic change in temps/humidity for cars that spent the night on the street or more frequent direct sun made delamination more likely but that was just a casual impression. I passed on a 228i THP that among other issues had one of the worst delaminated screens I saw. It looked like spider webs across the screen and the screen was just unreadable. As you have found out, the dealer option is beaucoup dollars. Used options rarely showed up on eBay when I was watching. The option I considered was from BimmerTech. The 230i I bought didn't need a replacement screen so I haven't tried them but

Good luck.
