Post by Vroooooom » Thu Mar 22, 2018 12:04 am

... I’ve bought a z4, that’s what.

Hi. Wanted one for years, in fact before it existed, ever since there was a z3.

2015 1.8 M sport, black with the leather orange-trimmed interior. I love it. I can get it in my (rather awkward) parking space, which is half the battle.

So again, hi. If there was one question I’d ask straight off: can anyone recommend a good clip-on mobile phone holder? For an iPhone 6s. My old car had built-in satnav (with a map already out of date when I got the damn thing) so I’m going to have to go old school..!

The problem with the airvent phone mounts is you tend to have the heaters on max when driving with the roof down out of summer and the heaters cook anything clipped to them.

I looked at tons of different mounts for my iPhone 6S and settled on this one... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06 ... UTF8&psc=1

It's got the new generation of windscreen pads which are mega stable. Looks great in gloss black and is about as unobtrusive as you can get for a screen mount. It even says MPower on it....ish! I love it.

Thanks for the warm welcome, all. And the suggestions. I’m going to give the MPow (as recommended by ph001 - thanks!) a go in the first instance, and do some more research into the Brodit which looks more complicated.

And I’ll sort some pics ASAP! I really need to read the Ts&Cs better...
