I installed mine to a fit I am happy with over the weekend so will post pics shortly of the modifications I had to make to get it to sit as flush as possible.

How did you get your screws in the top screw holes on the unit? Using the supplied ones they are too thin, the BMW ones have the washer which prevents them getting in the hole and when I used household screws I couldnt seem to get any purchase on anything behind and the screw just spins. I really wanna get these final screws in so I can be done with the whole process.
I had the same issue with the supplied screws.... one was "okay" but the other just spun in the hole.....

I just went digging around the random box of screws I have until I found 2 that screwed in properly.... The unit doesn't move at all now! The 2 I found were thicker countersunk screws, pretty sure they are wood screws but they work a treat!
