I use a visor mount for my Escort 9500ix.

Glad to hear it worked out. If you pop out the black rings from the reading lights, you can easily see the back of those pesky clips. All thats needed is a paper clip with a right-angle bend to pull back the clips and the console drops. As you said the rest is simple, piggy-back on the green and white wire and find a ground. I ran the power to my V1 over the headliner and out thru the side of the vanity light. About 2 inches of wire are visible when the visor is up. This is now the 4th BMW, that I've wired this way.
