On an X3 there is less issue because of the fact that sun never hits the screen in its little cave in the dash, but there is no substitute for the factory anti-glare finish. I know this from experience. There is no true anti-glare screen protector, and they are very difficult to install w/o air bubbles or trapped dust. They degrade the image somewhat because the anti-glare is just a rough surface like frosted glass and they are kinda shiny anyway. If you are OCD, forget it and get a new screen. In my convertible, I am on my third screen. It had just two scratches when I bought it, but they showed like crazy with the top down. I tried various protectors and they were a joke, so I bought a new screen. Then I had some hail damage repaired and the shop "detailed" my interior as a "service" and scratched it again. I made them replace it.
