I can almost guarantee that if you put it on properly, behind the rearview, you won't see it.

Re: salik tag

If you have a glass sunroof, you can attach it to that.

Very good idea.

Alternatively you could remove the headlight cluster, attach it to the inside of the headlights, and refit the assembly.

Re: salik tag

Perfect place for it technically is over the BMW badge on the front. You'll never miss another Salik gate

yeah i put it there when i had my previous beemer, but this one doesn't have a sunroof.
I'm still struggling as to where to stick it - for now i just literally take it out of the glove compartment as i pass under the saliks.

It's just a matter of time before you forget to take the salik out for the gates. and wham thousands in fines.

Maybe have a bonnet custom made with an in built holder, discreetly inlaid with diamonds around the tag.

Wear it on your forehead. That way you know if your car has been stolen.

Re: salik tag

Put it on the back window - that way it doesn't disturb the looks of the car from the front and you can check it is still there with the rear view mirror every time you apply lip gloss.

Stick it on one of the indicators. They don't work on BMWs anyway.

doorknobs!! stop confusing her!!
listen darling, you can go to www.salik.gov.ae and there you will find a section for Virtual Salik Tagging.
Register your Salik Number and your car number there, they will ask you to take pictures of your car with you sitting in it from all angles so make sure you already have them ready with you. Make sure they are high resolution pictures. Once that is done in 7 days they will send a representative to physically check if all the information provided is correct and car color etc etc.
That way you dont have to put the Salik Tag on the windscreen ever again.
Its all in line with Dubai Smart City 2020 planning.
