Looks like the 2 is NBT Evo (the Next Big Thing Evolution) ID5/ID6.

The X5 is NBT
(CIC-HIGH, also called the Next Big Thing – NBT)

It appears different models have different screens (touch and not):

Yep. What’s confusing is that some vehicles got ID5 with a touch screen (my mom’s x1) while some did not (my x3). Probably depended on plant/production date. ID6 is the same hardware but just a different home screen (you can even “code” an id5 car to give it the ID6 interface) - and I think all ID6 cars have a touch screen.

The touch screen is almost a necessity with carplay (very frustrating to use without one)

I’m still such a bmw nerd.
