I have the iOttie mount. Love it. Never has come loose, unless I remove it myself. I got one for my 635 also. They are nice mounts and not terribly expensive.

The back-up camera on my wife's 2013 Chrysler Town & Country is like HD compared to the one on my X5. There is no option for a better aftermarket camera, is there?
