No blank cover plate?

From the pics I've seen of a standard dash w/o Nav - there does not appear to be a blank plate or anything that could be modified to place a non factory GPS system - at least not without cutting the dash up.

So - I guess youd be looking at a window based suction cup holder, or keeping it low somewhere. Plus you'd have to run a power accessory cable up to it on long trips.

I just bought an under $350 Nextar unit and it works great. It comes with a functional window/dash attachment-suction cup thing but it doesn't look especially nice. I can't imagine it being permanent on a 135i. But I also don't really want to pay the $2k premium for the factory unit.
