BMW ones that sit behind the head restraint and clipped to the supports are re badged Nextbase 7" which you can get a lot cheaper by not buying the BMW version.  If I remember correctly the current BMW offering is an older model and no longer made by Nextbase as they have released new models in the last few weeks.

I purchased one of these as I've already got an iPad and the kids like the games too.  My initial unit had an issue but they just sent me a replacement without any drama http://toucoul.com/products/coulvue-headrest-car-mount

That's a lot cheaper than the BMW Official option!  Did you get clobbered for VAT and import duty?

I don't recall paying additional import duty but I just checked the shipping cost which was quite a bit at $35
