I was thinking of what would work and had an idea... (I get these ideas every so often - lol)
I have two friends who have additive manufacturing 'printers' - Might be able to have them make something for me. It could be a piece that sits on the edge of the console with provisions to mount something off the side that would hold my magnet mount that I use (from ProClip).

Will have to think about how that could work...

Again - thanks for the info...
(And I will have to do something with the E9 as well... I know... First world challenges... )
Depending on how/why the lighter fit is loose, it might be easy to reinforce or otherwise make it secure and stable, but maybe not. Thinking of some similar issues I had in older cars, could easily go either way.

If you have access to a 3d printer, it shouldn’t be too hard to make something.
