I went with the Proclip mounts for my Nuvi installation. The rubber suction cup mount has very limited longevity. Hot sun can turn the rubber into gum; extreme cold turns it brittle.
The Proclip mounts come in two differnt styles - a high dash mount over the HVAC vents or a low dash mount over the radio/HVAC controls. The high dash mounts places the nav unit directly over the HVAC duct which is closer to the driver's field of vision, but it also blocks the airflow from the vents, as well as exposing the nav unit to temperature extremes. I chose the low dash mounts for a less obtrusive install. Since the Nuvi features turn by turn audio announcements, not seeing the Nuvi in my line of sight was not a show stopper.
The Proclips are virtually indestructible and take minutes to install (or uninstall). And of course, I bought them from Tom G. at EAS.
Here are pictures of my Nuvi 350 installation in my X5 and E46 328i using Proclip mounts.
