If you wanted, the phone can be mounted on the vents, and you can use the 12V under the glovexbox to power.

Right now, I just use the USB in the center column for power and audio connection (for pandora, etc) and keep the phone in the center console then glance down at the screen as needed

Also, you are right on with "if you want a gps its best to buy it at the time of purchase"

With the benefit of hindsight, I would have gotten the iDrive in order to have access to BMW Apps (enables you to send destinations to your car via phone, and integrates music streaming apps, such as Pandora) and to modernize the interior of the car.
