Hahahah what big stick on the windshield? You mean to the right?? the yellow one? its a long pole to squeege the second floor windows after washing them.

Clean the garage? FORGET IT!

Ummm first one about 30 to 40 mins I took apart almost the whole car looking for the fogs LOL second one 3-4 mins 4 screws and reached my hand inside and felt my way through.

Oh thats the temp registration sticker before we get our real plates. Plus I ordered personal plates so I'll have to trade those plates in when it comes in for the personal one.

Oh really? then why do the dealers even give you paper plates for? "BMW of Honolulu" since you have to use the temp paper plate... here they want you to advertise for them till you get your real plate.

you mean the front plate frame? a few of us asked the dealer don't install it and you want to put it on? your state requires the front plate? if so, have your dealer do it for you.
