Now that's very interesting. A thing to note is that there is a difference between ENTRYNAV2 and NBT Evo head units (the latter being more powerful). Additionally, as G30 was released with ID6 and then upgraded to ID7 in the LCI, during the transition period "scaler" displays were produced and those would be 10.25" but run at the lower resolution for ID6.

While on the G20 the ENTRYNAV2 (ID6) with 8.8" was the "basic" option and if you opted for a larger screen (Professional) you would also get an upgrade to the MGU (ID7) head unit with a 10.25" screen. So there was no NBTEvo with a larger screen ever available for the G20. Even the ID6 variant got replaced with ID7, 6 months after the model launch.

Update: I reached out to BimmerTech and the answer was that they couldn't code the 10.25" display on ID6 because the ENTRYNAV2 HU in the G20 cannot output the needed resolution.
