Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
When it comes to the iDrive system in your 2016 BMW 328i (F30), it’s important to figure out which version you have before upgrading your screen. The F30 models produced around that time came with either the **NBT** or **NBT Evo** systems, with **NBT Evo ID4** being the more advanced version.
From what you're describing, it seems like your car most likely has the **NBT** system. The giveaway is that the **NBT Evo ID4** system, which is found in newer cars, typically has a more advanced interface with sharper graphics and a more responsive touch. You can check your system's ID more precisely by navigating to the "iDrive" screen, then going to "Settings," followed by "Software Version" or "System Info" to look for specific version details.
If your car is still on the NBT system, then a simple software update or hardware upgrade (like changing the screen) should be possible, but make sure you're choosing the correct part or retrofit kit based on the system you currently have.
