The BMW i4 is not a badge-swapped 4 Series. It is BMW’s all-electric Gran Coupe, and while it shares platform architecture and a lot of interior geometry with the 4 Series Gran Coupe, it runs its own order guide, its own trims, and in most model years its own curved display setup. If you are shopping for a BMW i4 phone mount, that distinction matters: a mount built for the 4 Series Coupe or Convertible will not fit the i4’s four-door interior, and even within the Gran Coupe family the display size has changed across model years. This guide covers phone mounts for the i4, based on its curved display, center console layout, and lack of a traditional round air vent in the usual mounting spot.
| Mount | Best For | Years/Trim |
|---|---|---|
| JIEZMO Magnetic Screen-Clip Mount | Simplest one-hand magnetic mounting | i4 2022-2025 (14.9″ display) |
| MaserWeller 360° Screen-Clip Mount | Keeping vents fully clear | i4 2022-2025 (14.9″ display) |
| Masergogo Wireless Charging Screen-Clip Mount | Charging on the go, road trips | i4 2022-2026 (14.9″ display) |
| LISEN SuctionPro Electric Vacuum Mount | Windshield or dash placement, universal fit | All i4 years |
Why a BMW i4 Phone Mount Needs to Be Screen-Specific
The i4’s cabin is dominated by BMW’s curved display, a single glass panel that houses both the driver instrument cluster and the central infotainment screen. Most i4 trims run the 14.9-inch version of that central screen. There is no dedicated phone shelf, and the round air vents that used to anchor a magnetic mount in older BMWs are gone, replaced by slim horizontal vents integrated into the dash trim. That single change is why screen-clip mounts have become the default answer for this generation of BMW interiors: they attach to the bezel around the display rather than to a vent or the dash surface, which keeps the phone at eye level and out of the way of climate controls.
A generic vent-clip mount, the kind that works fine in an older sedan, simply has nothing to grab onto in the i4. That is the main reason to buy a mount built specifically for this car rather than something marketed as a universal fit.
The i4 has been sold in the United States since the 2022 model year, and the trim lineup has stayed fairly consistent through the eDrive35, eDrive40, and M50 variants. All three share the same interior and the same 14.9-inch central display, so fitment is not a trim-level concern the way it can be with gas-powered BMWs that mix screen sizes across the lineup. What has changed slightly over the years is small trim hardware around the bezel, which is why the mounts below are all listed as confirmed for the full 2022 through current model range rather than a single year.
JIEZMO Magnetic Screen-Clip Mount
The JIEZMO is the simple pick if you just want a magnetic dock and nothing else. It clips to the edge of the 14.9-inch display frame and holds the phone with a MagSafe-compatible magnetic ring, no case removal or bulky cradle required. Setup takes a couple of minutes: clip the base onto the bezel edge, tighten the adjustment screw until it sits flush, and snap the phone onto the ring. Because it rides on the screen bezel rather than the dash surface, there is no adhesive residue to worry about if you ever want to remove it or sell the car down the line.
The arm is short and fixed in angle compared to the MaserWeller below, which keeps the phone close to the display but gives you less reach if you want it angled more toward the passenger side. For most drivers using it for turn-by-turn directions, that shorter reach is not a problem, since the phone sits directly in your peripheral vision next to the infotainment screen.
It is not a wireless charger and it does not have motorized or auto-clamping features. For drivers who just want their phone visible and secure for navigation and calls, that simplicity is the appeal.
MaserWeller 360° Screen-Clip Mount
MaserWeller’s version of the screen-clip mount is built with the same magnetic MagSafe-style ring but with a longer 360-degree rotating arm, which makes it easier to angle the phone toward the passenger seat for video calls or toward the driver for navigation. BMW markets this mount specifically as clearing the vent area entirely, so if you have ever had a mount in another car block airflow or rattle against a vent fin, this is the design meant to solve that.
The rotation joint also means you are not locked into one fixed angle once it is installed, which matters more in a car like the i4 where the display curve changes the sightline slightly compared to a flat screen.
Masergogo Wireless Charging Screen-Clip Mount
The Masergogo is the upgrade pick. It uses the same 14.9-inch screen-clip design as the other two options, but it adds built-in wireless charging behind the magnetic ring, so a MagSafe-compatible phone charges the moment it snaps into place. For anyone using the i4 for longer trips or heavy navigation use, that is a real advantage: no cable running across the console, no separate charging pad competing for space.
It is the priciest of the three screen-clip options here, and that is the tradeoff. If you are not going to use the wireless charging, the plain JIEZMO or MaserWeller mounts do the core job for less.
LISEN SuctionPro Electric Vacuum Mount: The Universal Alternative
Not every i4 owner wants a mount attached to the display bezel, even one designed to clear it cleanly. The LISEN SuctionPro is the option for drivers who would rather mount to the windshield or a flat spot on the dash instead. It uses an electric vacuum base that activates with one touch and holds firmly enough for the vibration and heat swings of daily driving, with a MagSafe-style magnetic head on top.
Because it is a universal suction mount rather than a screen-clip design, placement is flexible, but it also means you are responsible for positioning it somewhere that does not obstruct your sightline or violate local windshield-mounting laws. Check your state’s rules on windshield-mounted devices before choosing this route over a screen-clip mount.
Clearly this is the choice for multiple vehicles and comes in handy when moving to another vehicle (like a rental).
Which BMW i4 Phone Mount Should You Buy?
For most i4 owners, a screen-clip mount is the better long-term fit because it was designed around this specific dash, not adapted from a generic vent clip. If you want the simplest version, go with the JIEZMO. If keeping the vent area completely unobstructed is a priority, the MaserWeller’s design is built around that. If you want charging built into the mount itself, the Masergogo is worth the extra cost. And if you would rather not attach anything to the display bezel at all, the LISEN SuctionPro on the windshield or dash is the flexible fallback.
We’ve researched this same screen-clip approach on other current BMW interiors, including the BMW X1 and the BMW X2, and the same principle holds across BMW’s current lineup: the curved display bezel is now the most reliable anchor point in the cabin.
FAQ
Is the BMW i4 the same as the 4 Series?
No. The i4 is BMW’s all-electric Gran Coupe. It shares platform architecture and interior layout with the 4 Series Gran Coupe, but it is a separate model line with its own trims and order guide. A mount built for the i4’s Gran Coupe body will not fit the two-door 4 Series Coupe or Convertible, which has a different dash and console layout.
Will a vent-clip mount work in the BMW i4?
Not reliably. The i4 does not have a traditional round center vent in the usual mounting position, so vent-clip mounts have nothing secure to attach to. A screen-clip or suction mount is the more dependable choice.
Do these mounts block the display or touchscreen controls?
No. Screen-clip mounts attach to the outer bezel frame around the glass, not the display surface itself, so they do not interfere with touchscreen inputs.
Is wireless charging worth paying extra for?
If you regularly use your phone for navigation or streaming on longer drives, a mount with built-in wireless charging like the Masergogo keeps the battery topped off without a separate charging pad. If you mainly use your phone for quick glances at directions, a non-charging mount is a lower-cost option that does the same core job.
Can I remove a screen-clip mount without leaving marks on the bezel?
Yes. Screen-clip mounts use a spring-loaded or screw-tension clamp rather than adhesive, so they can be removed at any time without leaving residue or marking the trim. This also makes them easy to move between vehicles if you upgrade or lease a new i4 down the line.
Does the i4’s all-electric layout affect where I can mount a phone?
Not directly. The i4 shares its dash and console layout with the 4 Series Gran Coupe, so the mounting considerations come down to the shared curved display and console geometry rather than anything specific to the electric drivetrain. The main practical difference for i4 owners is that a phone mount often doubles as a way to keep a charging-network app or route planner visible during longer trips.
