Anyone have any suggestions where I could mount my IPhone dock so when I get into the seat all I have to do is put it in the dock. I know there is a spec dock made for the e60 but I can't for the life of me pay 150$ (for something i just paid 97¢ (shipped) from dealextreme) then risk cracking the fragile interior trim piece to install.

Now it's not to say spec is kind of ripping people off its I cant justify paying well over 100x more for something I believe can be jimmied myself


I'll take pic's and post links when I'm done

Check out www.proclipusa.com

They've got a few options which are non-destructive (no drilling). I chose the mount that goes over the A/C vent. Also look at their options for sliding clips which let you quickly add or remove devices based on your need.

The clip from www.proclipusa.com looks tacky :thumbsdown:

IMO the specdock looks clean and can be hidden when not in use. You drive a BMW, not a Ford! I have the specdock and it looks great. The only downside is the tray only comes in white, and no black trays are avaliable. I guess you could paint it, but then it will probably get scratched easily.

the spec.dock uses standard dock inserts. Buy a $20 black ipod alarm clock with the inserts off Amazon, and you're set. I've had a black insert in mine for over a year now, looks great.
