Blendmount bracket for US GTS - Need pic please

Can someone with a US GTS take a pic of the rear view mirror and the housing behind it from the inside. I am looking at a radar detector bracket called blendmount. www.bledmount.com They show 2 pics so I have to figure which bracket to order.
Thanks in advance

Canadian cars have different windshield and also get speed limit info. So not sure if the mirror mount will be different too.

I would assume it's not different than the regular M4.

There's different rear view mirror mounts depending on options.

Not according to the build sheets that I saw.

I understand that different options might have different rear view mirrors (for instance if you get the universal remote control or not), however, I didn't think the mount would be different. But as it turns out you are right, there are two different mounts. See post below.

I'm quite certain that US car's also have speed limit info on the M3/M4, so unless for the GTS they removed that then it's a different story.

Keep this website as a resource for the future, it gives you a diagram of the parts you're looking for.
http://www.realoem.com/

There seem to be three different mirror options for your car, see which one is yours depending on your options. There also seems to be two different mounting bases. One that is only for vehicles equipped with Speed Limit Info, and the other for all the ones without.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Real OEM is a great resource. I am just hoping current US owners of the GTS can take a pic for me so I can take the guesswork out and order the bracket before the car comes

So, what are people putting on the 'other end' of the radar detector bracket? Who's using what for a radar detector?? Currently, I have an Escort 9500ix Passport but am wondering if there is anything new and exciting out there?

speed limit info is an option and does not come standard on the m3/4.

I never said it comes standard on US cars, but it is available.

So where did you get the info that US spec M4 GTS comes with speed limit info? Do you own one yourself or seen one in person?

Pretty sure you don't have a clue what you are talking about because the US spec GTS doesn't have the front facing cameras like the Canadian cars does.

Okay listen smarta**, read my posts carefully before opening your mouth. It makes you look like an idiot when words come out of your mouth before you think about them.

Little boy is upset that a non-GTS owner spoke in his section

Perfectly fine that anyone can come in here to contribute. But coming in here and just trolling everyone with false info is just plain wrong, ignorant and causing confusion is just not helping.

Hey idiot
