I just bought another GoPro suction cup mount and use that to mount my external mic on the bumper. I use a zip tie to mount the mic's flash hotshoe mount to my GoPro mount. No big deal. 
I also have a friend who just puts his external mic in his trunk... that works pretty well too. When you put an external mic under the hood or even a GoPro near the front bumper... you just pick up all the mechanical while of the engine. I don't care much for that type of sound(s).
Here are the results...
My 135i has a Performance Exhaust(PE) which sounds awesome!
Enjoy,

I've never run an external mic, just stuck my GoPros on the car & recorded.
