Radar detector mount on rearview mirror
Came across this mount while looking for an alternative to the suction cups for the Escort Passport. Looks like a nice solution... pricey at $40, but looks like it's worth it.
Rearview mirror mount

Personally, I don't like that location. It just looks weird I think. Plus, it has to clear the clown nose, so it'll look even worse I think.

Country Joy Crafts . . .
It is a great mount and will "fit" almost all BMWs. The real negative is that once on (and it is a real bitch to get on), the mirror is limited in it's adjustability. It will move a bit left and right and a bit more up and down, but that's it.
I had the mount on my 2006 325xi for about 6 months. It worked great holding the Escort, but I couldn't use the rearview mirror as well. I could see what was behind me somewhat but not to the horizontal degree that I could with the mount off. Also, if someone else drives your car, and they need to adjust the mirror, it will probably not work for them. |

Blendmount.com is developing a mount that is supposed to fit BMWs. I've signed up for beta testing. I've also been talking with the makers of another mount sold on eBay by a seller named astronutus888 ( just search the seller). His mount fits my Miata just fine, but is a bit too thick for the BMW mirror mount. He may develop something thinner, but no timeline yet.

I'm all in for a mirror mount for my V1 too. The country joy mount fit my 350z great, but this small stem is killing me.
Ideally, I'd like to see something like this developed for the BMW: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...7-g-rides.html Anyone try this one? http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...detector-mount I'd prefer the mount hold from the stem down and to the right so the detector could be under the right side of the mirror, to the right of the clown nose. |
