I made the huge mistake of taking our 535i with iDrive to a car wash once and they wiped the screen with some crap and left some smudging on the screen. I could clean the whole thing with a microfiber cloth with Monster LCD/Plasma screen cleaner, looked like new afterward. I was nervous after reading so many horror stories on this forum, but I couldn't leave it as it was a took the risk.

Once again... my point is that the anti-glare surface is WAY too fragile to be left without any protective "glass" like older models. This is unacceptable in a vehicle which is used almost every day.

i know what hes talking about. someone touched my screen and there was a smudge and I tried to wipe it and it only looks worse. The screen is very delicate so I guess dnt touch it lol. And to clean it I just use a mf cloth and just glide it ontop so it picks up the dust.

I think everyone with a similar issue needs to start calling BMW NA and telling them that the iDrive screen is WAY too delicate.

NO, it isn't the problem.
A microfiber cloth which was soaked and wrung out should be perfect for wiping the screen gently after gently removing the dust with an air can or VERY soft makeup brush. The problem is that the SCREEN IS TOO FUCKING DELICATE FOR A CAR. Please stop wasting my time defending BMW regarding this issue. I love my car and BMW's in general but THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW.

This is my 5th BMW with Nav and 4th with iDrive. I have never had this problem before. You obviously have nothing constructive to add to this thread so I'll thank you to stop wasting my time. Bye : )

If you can show me where BMW (not a SA at a dealer) ever says that, I'll stop buying BMWs.
