Yeah, Gorilla Glue the MagSafe to the plastic tray, need to cut a couple of holes to manage the cord, need a right angle USB-C adapter to get the lengthy MagSafe plug out of the way. It's a $59 fix and it's effective. As an added bonus, it doubles the amount of storage space as the room under the tray is still there for keys and things that could scratch the phone.
When I take short trips, under 30 minutes, I'll just throw my iPhone on the BMW wireless charger. Gets warm, but no issues. But for anything longer than 30 minutes and especially on really long trips, my iPhone is in the armrest.
Also get a short USB-C cord. Because sometimes you need to urgently charge your phone in the car and MagSafe isn't fast, especially if you're in CarPlay and streaming music and using iPhone for navigation.
