I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

I actually use a suction cup with my TomTom and I installed it to the lower left corner of the windshield because it allows me to take quick glances without taking my eyes off the road. I always take the suction cup off and throw it in the glove box, when I get to my destination and I take my TomTom with me. G/L

Here is my DIY.

I like it, it's really easy to keep an eye on it while driving.

+1 yours and Krozi's place to me would be the best option if I had to have an aftermarket Nav. It sucks to put it in the window, but as mentioned its in close eye sight, yet out of the way. I dont know why you would want to put in front of the I-Drive.....then its blocking the view of the music, and other controls
