Question: Any Indians putting small god idol in new 328i or any 3 series?

Questions to anyone with a new 2016 3 series.

Any good spot inside the car to paste small god idol in the new 2016 3 series ? preferably at the center of the dashboard, where it can sit straight and it can be clearly visible to driver and passenger.

Let me know.

I have an Indian in my car often enough. His name is Rupesh and he fits nicely in the front seat at 6'1". He's top Brahmin. Is that what you mean?

No, you should just replace BMW hood ornament with solid gold Vishnu. Very very good, my friend.

If you use your Gauss Meter the vector of the EMF waves can be calculated within a ratio of plus/minus two centihectares, once you have this located it's easy to use the Dalton method of discombobulated extraction to find the azimuth on which you base the Multiplier, it's all simple mathematics from that point on.

Some people put a dashcam there because their god is accountability.

In all seriousness, there isn't any good spot to mount a figurine without it looking out if place or obscuring the screen. I keep mine in the right cup holder.

There really isng a good place. The pop out screen takes away any good options. You can go for cupholder option I guess?

Yes this is a serious question. Most of the Indians do need to put an idol in their cars, work desk, other important locations in their daily places. Buying a car in india is considered a sign of progress hence, it has to blessed by the almighty.

But I loved all the responses. Thank you!

Depending on wether you have extended instrument display or not (not sure wether that's still an option or standard) you could affix a small figurine in between the speedometer and the tachometer.

Maybe a dumb idea if you need an actual statue/figurine, but it were me I'd put a decal on the trim above the glovebox. I have brushed aluminum, so in my case maybe gloss chrome for a tone on tone low key look. Gold would look nice if you have wood.

That may be your best bet, if it's an acceptable option, for something that's there but not horribly inconvenient.

It's an unusual question, but I for one appreciate and admire your devotion. Myself, I had an "Ichthyos" symbol on the back of my previous car. De-badged my 428iX to remove the ridiculous "xDrive" badge, with the intentions of placing the Icthyos there... didn't like how it looked at first. Still contemplating. Faith (and thanksgiving) definitely is important.

This is the photo from my previous car with the idol in the center of the dash board.

On the right side is a small plant, which we were gifting to someone on the day we took the photo.
