Is there a place for the phone cradle in the 650 convertible?

Yep, just like in all 645/650 coupoes and cabrios - in the center console under the arm rest. I am not sure how much of the required components you may already have as mine came with nothing so I had to get lots of parts.

See list and comments here:

Part numbers installed 3/31/05:
84 21 0 307 726 Snap in adapter (specific to Motorola v6xx, v5xx phones) ~ 96.00
.....this part would change based on what phone you want to adapt .........
51 16 7 139 000 Support ~ $109.00 (Option 644)
84 21 6 946 075 Eject box ~ $130.00 (not the same eject box used in the v60 CPT 9000 mobile phone configuration).
51 16 1 964 677 8-bolt ~ $ 00.34
51 16 7 113 151 Base ~ $ 34.21
51 16 7 113 150 Cover ~ $ 8.16
All above are retail prices. I also got BMWCCA 15% discount on those prices.
1 hour labor charge.
I was the first done at this dealer and the instructions were lost (28 pages came with option 644). Tech did a good job figuring it out.
BTW, as I had ordered all this prior to car being received many of the parts were lumped together with Aux Input install so I actually got out of this with a total of $350 including the Aux. I believe my CA kinda screwed up.

I do have pics I can add later when I get home if u think u need'em
