Universal mount for 2004 BMW 330i

Written By John, East Bay, Calif on Tuesday, November 09, 2010
 
All in all, mostly satisfied with this unit. When I installed it, I noticed that the trim piece
didn't go back the exactly the same. There was a small gap, probably about 1 millimeter
more than before. Not much, but I notice it. Aside from that, the bracket works perfectly.
Nice & snug.

One complaint, although the bracket itself doesn't interfere with anything, once I mounted
a bracket to hold my iPod (Bracketron Universal Grip-It), the navigation screen will bump
into the bracket when it tilts down to load or eject a CD. Good thing I don't use my CD's
anymore. Mostly a very, very minor nuisance, but still, a nuisance.

So, 4 out of 5 stars total. Glad I did it since it makes a big difference! I can now use my
cupholders and charge my iPod while I drive!

Thanks, Johnny

Pro Fit BM-50-99

Written By Paul, Connecticut, USA on Tuesday, January 30, 2007
 
I have purchased these mounts for this car (bmw x3) and other cars i have owned. They have always fit perfectly and are easy to install. Great product. A little pricey however. I used the adapter to mount my cell phones on. I will likely be changing this to use with my ipod instead and put the cell phone on a hands free kit. either way the mounts are great for these types of things.
