I don't think the brackets referenced are available from BMW any longer, but the other method I describe to secure the 16:9 unit works just fine.

There are really only two benefits to the 16:9 screen versus the 4:3 screen that I can think of. One is obviously the larger screen, which makes viewing and using the system easier and more functional. The other is, in my opinion, a better and more updated look to the vehicle. You don't gain or lose any other functionality.
