I have a 2017 registered i3 which came with the little screen. Purchased what I assumed to be the correct 10.25 screen from China and installed it. Used the accepted coding options and it only displays on part of the screen and cuts the text to the right side off. tried various other codings and the result is the same.

So I put the coding to what is the normal accepted settings and proceeded to install a CarPlay box. Set that via dip switches to large screen and it works correctly filling the whole screen. Go back to iDrive and back to the part screen.

Now it is entirely possible I have purchased the wrong screen but I am at a loss to explain the behaviour and wondered if anyone could give me a clue.
 
My 2017 i3 came with the smaller screen and I replaced it with this:

BMW part 65509306743 = 10.25” Central Information Display
Label on the display:
CHIMEI INNOLUX
L6 CID MU 10.25”
[HW][00 06][FDV][30 07]
185206-10

I found it on AliExpress.com as:
Free shipping CHIMEI INNOLUX BM 9306743 03 1025 inch LCD display completed monitor for BWM satellite radio HDD navigation

The best price at the time (March 2020) was from "opuradio": $367.08. The current prices seem to be around $650 (or $560 + $90 shipping).

The configuration for BMW part 65509306743:
Change from:
HU_NBT/3000 HMI/DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 6.5_800x480
HU_NBT/3001/EXBOX/DISPLAY_VARIANTE = schmales_display
To:
HU_NBT/3000 HMI/DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 10.25_1280x480
HU_NBT/3001/EXBOX/DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display
