No I does not fit but can be made to fit using patience and a hot air gun. The 6.5" trim needs to be stretched by approx 3mm at each end. I used a hot air gun and the larger CID to stretch the trim, I then used a 10mm bolt, heated to stretch the bottom corner at each end. Having adapted the trim the larger 8.8" CID fits perfectly and it looks 100% o.k (I.e imo no one would be able to tell). If you are not up to adapting the trim purchasing the larger size is possible and it is an easy swap.
Do you know the 8.8 inch touch screen part number for 2018 X1?
