Thanks for the write-up Speed! That made my install easy. I ran into something slightly unexpected. At the part where you screw in the ground, I see the two holes, but no screws anywhere in sight:



I couldn't find a screw that's the correct size from my toolbox, so I ended up taping the ground wire against that strip of unpainted metal above the two screw holes. Feels a little bit jury rigged, but it works. Let's hope it holds. Here's the final product:



I think I discovered a flaw in my plan though. In my E92, there is a strip of tinted glass at the top of the windshield which helps to conceal the permanent mount. E89 does not have that tinted strip, so the mount looks rather obvious (IMHO) from the outside, especially since the 3M adhesive that is on it is grey in color:



What do you guys think? Too much "come steal my stuff" vibe?
