My Ride: 535D
Yesterday I loaded the battery of my pretty new RAZR and today spent some 5 hours driving. The battery was completely empty by the end of the day 
I understand it is hardly possible that BMW would make a cradle for RAZR but I wonder what I shud do if I need to drive 8 hours and remain costantly reachable
Any ideas how to get in the car at least power for RAZR?

Try EBAY, OEM Moto charger are much much less expensive, there is a huge mark up on accessories.
Just do a search on EBAY for Motorola CAR Chargers, tons will appear.

I use the Moto site to find the technical info, and then use ebay or other source for actual purchase. I should have so stated.

I have that inexpensive car charger plugged into the power outlet under the glovebox. I then pulled the dongle into the the glove box from behind. My V3 is in my pocket most of the time, but if I am driving for more than a couple of hours and plan on talking, you bet I will plug it in.
