Update: installed a F3x 626 part number alpine non touch screen today. The fitment was perfect with no gap on my 2018 230i. I did have to code it differently then others have instructed. I used BimmerCode and coded the following-

Head Unit (HU_NBT)
(Expert mode)
- 3005 DISPLY_PIP_CONFIG
* CID_DISPLAY_SIZE
- 2. 8.8
* CID_DISPLAY_RES
- 2. 1280x480


Note: When I initially installed the screen it said no signal. After coding as other said in previous posts (EX_BOX - Brites Display) the screen went blank and my audio stopped working. I panicked a little, but realized that the display resolution option wasn't there. I dug around a bit and found the options above with display also in the title preceded by CID which seemed relevant. Crossed my fingers and tried it after coding the brites display option back to what it was before. It booted up beautiful once the coding competed. Now I'm curious if the touch screen might actually work on the 2018s +. There is an option under the same area to code touch screen active
