Advice on replacing iDrive screen
Hi all,
My new-to-me 2016 228i with the 8.8" screen is starting to bubble around the bottom right corner. The car has been in Florida its whole life and has had no tint, but it seems a little odd to me that the screen would bubble this soon. Because of this, I've been on the hunt for a gently used screen off eBay. (a new one of these is 3k!) I've seen some threads about replacing the screen but I'm not so sure about the compatibility of screens from different model years and if any coding would be involved when swapping the units. Any pointers is much appreciated. |

Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car's vehicle identification number. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Scroll down to audio/nav and get the part number for the screen in your car. Also, click on the part # (it's a link) and see what other years and models used the same screen. Replacing the screen should not be difficult. I think it's held in place with 2 screws.

I replaced the bubbled screen in my 2016 with the AVIN 10.25in screen so I could add cameras and CarPlay. The screen looks nice and was plug-and-play, but I have had myriad issues with the cameras, Android system, and CarPlay -- basically everything I paid extra for. AVIN's customer service is the absolute worst. I can only recommend it if you're not interested in adding any of the features and will just use the factory system.
