cas, I just noticed your EZ-Pass mounted underneath your mirror.
For what it's worth, I found that it's less noticeable if you mount it to the right of the mirror at the top of the windshield. I'm also considering doing an experiment to see if the transponder will still work if I apply something black to the bottom of it (like electrical tape or paper.) I hate how the white plastic housing stands out like a sore thumb...

What's that extra medallion on the back of the trunk? Is the dealer paying you to advertise for him? I think I'd make him take it off.
Definitely. You should debadge the entire trunk area.

Rudy - can you not mount it behind the inspection sticker or registration sticker?? In Texas, they are about the same size as our TollTags and they do work when placed behind.

Actually, since I don't use mine often at all, I leave it in the glovebox so the only thing visible is two small, clear velcro strips...

[/quote]I ordered them from bmw wheels .com and the tires from tirerack.com and shipped them to my dealer to be put on when the car arrived 3 weeks ago.

[/quote]Hi CAS,
Is it 275/30 on the rear? They look a bit "thin" in the rim.
I really love the 128:s and can't wait for mine to be delivered!!
Do you have the original sport suspension?
