In this video I review and show you how to install a phone mount on my E90 BMW. This would fit all E9X offerings.
I install this in my 2008 BMW 335i. The e90 does not have a good place to put your phone from the factory. Sometimes you just want to use your phone with your favorite streaming app or navigation app.
I've seen a few options for the E90 and I think this one is the best as it mounts the phone up high where you can see it without taking your eyes too far off the road.
If you are interested in purchasing one you can do so at this link (affiliate):

What I like about your videos, you don't try to be a you tube movie star and your always to the point and on point. Thank you sir

@Riv015 3 года назад

Excellent point, that’s why he’s the main staple on e90s. Keep the e90 content coming!

@glenf4115 3 года назад

If you do not use i-drive - I would flip the mount so it blocks the i-drive screen :)

@TheRealToybox 3 года назад

You inspired me to make videos! Thank you so much

@djatfullthrottle 3 года назад

I was thinking of this because its higher and easier to see than the low one you mentioned, plus this was cheap, so I was afraid it was going to be a crappy magnet and wasn't sure about the screws and how they worked. great review, thanks. Might grab this till I get my android head unit later this year.

@darrellnewell2341 3 года назад

I just recently purchased 2 of these cars one is 08 automatic just like yours and the other is a 07 manual both are black e90’s. I’m currently waiting on my écu to come back from Renn auto

Thanks I just ordered one. I have bought so many that does not work well at all.. Thanks

@twinturbo8304 3 года назад

thanks I watch all of your stuff. I have an 08E 90 and have done most of the mods. I am glad that you are making enough money to afford a new BMW when my 08 is done I will probably look for a 34O also. if you could find the time I sure would like to know what all of these sensors on my car do . for instance what are those two sensors under the hood that face each other from across the engine bay? Also what does that knob underneath your phone mount do?

Are there any problems with the compass calibration of the phone for GPS and Google Maps because of the magnet?? I have iPhone 11 Pro Max. I heard of some cases from people and therefore didn‘t order a magnet phone holder.

no. the cup holder problem is not solved. Just purchase a new unit or try to open it up and see what broke. If you buy a new one it should last a while before they break again.

@VehicularDIY 3 года назад

I do have it yeah and yes it's broken, the plastic clips let go. They make aftermarket solutions that replace the clips. I have a replacement shade to put in, I wasn't planning on making a video on it but I guess I could.

So the m performance pedals for f series also fits on an e9x?

@tobewankenobi 3 года назад

Installation was easy, thanks. I put some Loctite on the set screws to hold them in place. Can you tell us what the red plastic circle is for? It comes with 2 metal plates plus the plastic disc. The lack of instructions is really annoying. Thanks.

@TheLoneRanger1992 2 года назад

Does yours make a vibration rattle noise?

@tobewankenobi 2 года назад

@@TheLoneRanger1992 no it's solid and doesn't rattle. Your need to remove the module it mounts to and ensure the screws are positioned evenly. Then apply the loctite and let it dry.

@TheLoneRanger1992 2 года назад

@@tobewankenobi oh I never knew you had to apply loctite, it is secure an each screw is even on but when my phones on it just makes a vibration rattle noise but not sure why it’s just annoying

@tobewankenobi 2 года назад

@@TheLoneRanger1992 it's not mentioned anywhere that I saw but the set screws don't fit snuggly and they are behind the trim so no way to know if they get loose. So I decided to put some loctite on them. Another idea I had was to get longer set screws but it's still a good idea to use loctite.

Did you remove your wireless charging capabilities? I've been thinking about doing the same install in my E90 but would like to hear if/why you removed it.

Would you say this magnet is strong enough to hold a tablet?

@VehicularDIY 3 года назад

For a small tablet I would expect so.

@lordgarth1 3 года назад

If not for the wireless charging I’d definitely switch to this. As it is I went with a mount in the dvd slot.

@VehicularDIY 3 года назад

Yeah wouldn't be hard for them to develop a wireless charger that pulls power from the plugs being the switch.

@machtschnell7452 3 года назад

Way too low for driving in congestion or at speed.

@lordgarth1 3 года назад

Macht Schnell not much lower than this one as the phone sits above the mount point in a cradle that grabs onto the phone not centered directly on it.

Much prefer a windshield mount low on the far left allowing full airflow in Texas (very necessary in Summer!) and access to the traction control which I disable in dry weather. Also prefer the higher line of sight when a quick flick of the eyes allows me to keep nearby cars in peripheral vision.
