Get one soon! There’s plenty of repos out there right now because of Covid-19 unfortunately but it’s better news for car buyers. If buying used, I recommend u take at least 6 months and about 2-3 grand to change out a few parts so u can have peace of mind and super reliability!! It’s sooooo much fun to drive especially once you’ve added a transmission and engine tune OMG!

I like the idea but looking down at your phone in GPS mode is really dangerous. It should be closer to eye level.

If you want to take it one are farther, use a magnetic wireless charger, instead of the magnetic head that comes with it. Just hide the cord and run it to a fuse or the cigarette lighter line for power. That will keep everything clean and neat, with no wires showing. It works great! 🙂

[@BashxSaiyan]

I like how integrated it looks into the trim. I might consider getting it.

[@noahfranzen1960]

Awesome video man! One tip, when you have the metal plate on your phone you can’t charge it wirelessly. So put the metal plate in your case so you can take it off when you need to charge wirelessly!

Little warning, if you're gonna stick a magnet on your phone, don't do this if you want wireless charging, it will stop it from working entirely, I'd say stick it to the inside of the case so you can remove your phone for wireless charging, that's what I did :) Hope this helps! x

[@freegurl76]

Wow! Am I the only person who loves the wood grain in their E90? That’s probably the only thing that I still love in the interior of my car. I am looking to buy the 2017 BMW i3 and want the wood feature only. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@threedirty5455]

Used this for a Cobb Accessport. Best mount ever!

[@crissbalgobin]

This is an alright set up all depends on the user preference, for me I hate to keep looking down instead of having it at my line of sight so I went with a QI cup holder charger and phone mount. Also use Android Auto/ Google Maps and it works great esp if you retro a Bluetooth connector to your aux and lighter port it plays through your car deck and the assistant works too Lol

[@andrewsmith5061]

I swear EVERYONE hates wood trim. on the e90, full black interior (even the headliner like on m sport cars) with wood trim is classy, imo, that’s what i’m rocking

[@randyo6019]

Justin! You are the BMW guru my dear! Thx for showing us the phone mount.

[@Bassarocious]

My solution is much like this , but instead of bolt on its adhesive the same as on the metal plate for the back of the phone which allows me to place it in the best place for me... next to the ash tray and gear shift. Easy to reach and see not obstructing air vents. Swivels the same as yours. Secure and strong never a problem. Was lucky to find one with a narrow enough base plate to fit there. Installed in 30 seconds!!!

[@jacobgravel3]

Its a really cool idea to integrate the phone mount in the car design but... I rather have the phone higher up where if I put my GPS or music I can change it without looking at my phone too bad

[@4x4runr]

How’s the wireless charging with the metal plate there? Seems like it would get really hot and or it would hinder charging efficiency

[@JuanJTapia-mo9em]

[@kevinyablonski6169]

I know this is a late post to be asking for advice on but I thought id give it a shot. Do you think the magnet in the phone mount would be "heavy duty" enough to hold a small tablet?

[@unpopularopinionz]

To be dead honest i wanted an e90 3 series for a long time but was afraid to commit for reliability reasons and stumbling on your channel and watching your videos is literally what mentally gave me the justification to get one. Spent 2 months consistently looking for the right one for hours n hours every day. Ended up finding an ‘11 sport package 328 sedan that was overly taken care of with 80k miles, combox, nav, LED’s and aluminum dash!!! Pulled the trigger and i couldnt be happier.. i was never an in depth car person either and now its like i got a new girlfriend hahaha.

[@unpopularopinionz]

Btw... BMW seriously owes you a check... or a car at least... or a damn job... or something for the amount of strictly bmw customers you bring in.

[@pinoysi06]

Third-party manufacturers make some accessories with strong magnets or magnetizable metal plates that are near the iPhone rear camera (or cameras). These magnets and plates can latch folio covers, join separable cases, or attach to rigid mounts-for example, car mounts. Apple recommends that third-party manufacturers avoid using magnets and metal components in cases and other accessories. For best camera performance, avoid accessories that use magnets or magnetic metal. Interesting read

cool video. i also prefer google maps. though, I think it's a bad idea to have the navigation that low on the dashboard. maybe you will find a mod to raise it up a bit

[@SimoJekov]

That's kinda neat. I usually open the ash tray lid and lay the phone horizontally there. Mine is an E91 non smoker version. About the nav question at least in our region (Eastern Europe) I would recommend trying HERE WeGo. It works quite well, it's free and supports offline maps. Cheers :)

I need one thats like $5-10 USD

[@scotwilson4169]

I bought 1 for my old phone on the CarThrottle website. Its magnetic, and supplied with a sticky back metal plate to stick to your phone exactly the same as this. Only difference is the base/mouth sticks to your dashboard. Think it was less than £10 I used that for like a year with my old iPhone 6 and it worked great. I have a bmw 325d (e9x) so I stuck it on the black plastic part on the top of the dash. When I wanted to remove it I pulled it off gently (it was stuck on VERY well) and didn't even leave a mark👍 Only reason I stopped using it was because I've got a Samsung galaxy s10 now and didn't want to mess up the wireless charging by sticking a magnetic right over the wireless charging coils on the back of the phone

[@scotwilson4169]

Found it, £7.63 on amazon. Just type in "Mpow Magnetic Car Phone Holder" And its the 1 with the shiny ball in the middle with a plate either side. Hopefully that helps

[@manzarshahaan]

Try the one from Spigen

[@FPSAnarchy]

@@manzarshahaan that shit looks like junk and i need something that bolts onto the car

[@MichaelAMangone]

Get an index card. Trace the two fastener holes. Bend it in two places to make a face that faces the driver. Use an angle grinder to rough out some steel sheet. Use a Dremel or careful angle grinding and filing to replicate the pattern. Drill your holes. Make the face hole big enough to receive a cap screw. Use a cap screw and bolt to fasten onto the plate. Get a 99 cent wooden cabinet handle from Menards. Drill through. Make the hole big enough to receive the cap screw. Glue. On the other side, bore it so it receives a magnet. Primer and paint the whole thing for 6 dollars of rattle can paint. I'd guess it would be 10 dollars if you already have an angle grinder, file, and drill.

[@justinbuice]

I had the same thoughts replacing one of my washer sprayer covers a few years ago. BMW wanted $50+ for a little plastic square. I got a "Chinese" one on ebay for $5, sanded, painted and clear coated it myself. On my video, people complained that I spent more on supplies than had I just bought it from BMW lol. I suppose for a lot of people, the convenience of just being able to take something out of a box and install it is worth the price 😎

[@Jayc_e93]

Nice little mod man. Spencer Berkes buddy Parker put one one like it in his e46 m3 recently. Just for future reference u can just put the metal peice between your case and the phone and it will stay in place without using the adhesive backing so its not actually stuck to your phone. Thats what ive always done...just a lil tricky lining it up while puting the case back on.

Instead I want to keep my eyes on the road as much as possible.

Have you seen the Spigen air vent phone mount things. Those are way more simpler, easier to install/take off and they sit higher up than the location you are using.
