hey everyone...im buying a NAVTV setup for my NON-nav car and I was wondering if I can swap in the 8.8" screen and use it for the DVD and Backup Camera and everything...and will it still work with my idrive without having nav??

If this is possible which screens will work...anything out of a 5 series?? 7 series??

Your iDrive display will not be in the centre but will be on one side, you may not like the way it looks. In terms of the NAVTV the smaller display has the better aspect ratio which is why BMW's own ACM will only display a 6.5" image (centred) even on a 8.8" screen

the screen size is the same; however the bezel around it is not. a 7 series monitor will not fit.
