My Ride: MY05 545i Jet Black with Auburn interior. SMG, Logic7, Sport Package, Comfort Seats, Navigation.
Good observation Seitch. The tall plate is awkwardly placed with double sided tape. Someone mentioned to me that this type of plate is for newly imported foreign cars, such as japanese and korean cars. They don't have the long slot for European plates.
They were going to install the short U.S. plate holder in the front and use this tall plate there. But I wanted to bring back the long plate so I told them to use it in the back. You need to leave the rear plate with the car upon drop off.

[/quote]Great looking car! I wonder if they have started using a different predelivery wax (or whatever).
The food is just wonderful. My wife and I have been here for 19 years 4 inches on the waist and 40 lbs on the body later we are still eating our way through Germany. Wonderful car, food and people!
It wil be hard to leave when Uncle starts to cut the numbers.
Edit:
Those pounds and inches are on me. Whew, dodge a bullet there! edited before she saw this!
