Thanks to MJE60 and his advices the whole procedure lasted about 20 minutes.
The main reason why I am writing though is to say that the coding part was a bit different for my car, and this is, I believe, due to the fact that my late 2016 X1 has the Entrynav and not Entrynav 2 head unit.
I noticed something was different as soon as I got into the HU section, there was no 3005/3006 section there. So, after a while I found a blog with a similar explanation on how to replace and code the same screen on a F46/F48 and saw that there were only two codes, and these worked for me.
There are just two steps:
1. 3000 HMI -> Display_Size_Resolution (here you can change both size and resolution from 6.5 to 8.8 and 800x480 to 1280x480)
2. 3001 EXBOX -> Display_Variante (change from schmal to breites)
This is all. There is no 3006 Nav Section where you need to set the display resolution to 1280x480, this is somehow already done with the aforementioned steps.
I hope this helps anyone with a Entrynav head unit who wants to replace their smaller screen with the bigger one.
Once again thanks to MJE60 and everyone else who gave advices on this topic!

Hello!
I'm on the same way currently. Thanks for all the info above!
There is one thing I'm not sure about. Which type of screen is better for our 2016 X1 - Alpine AL4801 or AL4802? (w/o or w touch screen).
Because the price is better for AL 4802 but I'm not sure if it fits my car.
