Screen Protector for iDrive Screen
I've searched but haven't seen anyone here that has a screen protector for the iDrive screen. Perhaps an anti glare would work or even a clear one. Any suggestions?

Since it arrived I decided to give it a try. It was at night when I fitted it and everything lined up and adhered properly, only 1 single speck of dust at lower corner so I left things be. Clarity was fine other than slightly added gloss. This morning when I was driving to work, the sun was behind me, and whenever there is direct sunlight (not artificial light), there is a purple hue. So between the purple hue and increased gloss, I don't expect it will be on for long. You may still want to try it since it is rather inexpensive. |

I dont think this is a waste of time. Anti-glare "screen protectors" are very effective in reducing the harsh reflections.
I have an iPad mounted in the dash of my Land Cruiser for example and its nearly unusable in the daytime with out the anti glare screen protector. The iDrive screen in my M5 is a bit shiny so I too am on the hunt for an anti glare solution. |

I'm also on board with the utterly useless camp. The screen already has an anti-glare coating.
It's a car not a museum piece. It would be really unusual to scratch the touchscreen, I mean I don't even touch mine 99% of the time don't know about you guys. |

It might not be easily noticeable (probably a good thing...) but I have a tempered glass screen protector (bought on eBay, from a Chinese seller) since day one. Took extra care while installing, used the included cleaning kit/ dust remover sticker, and it worked out OK (no bubbles or dust specks).

I put one on my screen as well. Cheap insurance. Definitely not going to hurt anything. I did it for fingerprints and scratches.
