Well the X5 screen is definitely different....I guess I'll wait and hopefully someone will start making them soon.

Thanks again, guys.

Cheers,

How did you determine this? Did you end up ordering one of the protectors off of Amazon?

I sat in the car with a pic of the X5 one and it was obvious that it wouldn't fit; the bevel in the left upper corner is smaller and on more of an angle than the X5 one is.

Is the actual touch screen plastic? I still have the original plastic film on mine and will leave it in place for now.

BMW makes glass screen protectors now for most of the recent cars. I'm fairly certain there is one for the Z4. There is one for my G01 as well but haven't ordered it yet.

I got a call today from my Service Advisor. While replacing the windshield the tech scratched the screen. Watching this thread...

Ugh, so frustrating. Well, at least they told you.

I received a GT4 back from a Porsche dealer once with a huge divot out of the plastic on the driver's side door floor-panel. The service department didn't say anything. Come to think of it, I've had too many experiences like that with car dealers in general. Maybe my face is just insulting...

Yeah. They called and asked me if there was a scratch on the screen. I told them no. They said okay, we will replace it. I asked how much that would typically cost. They said about 2k but they covered it so no big deal. The car had 1500 miles on it at the time.

Very nice. Honest dealers seem hard to come by nowadays, but maybe that's because I live in NY metro area...
