Id rather keep the system tbh , it reminds you when its coming up & also feels like you at least get something after they have ripped you off :cry: may only be a coloured circle of paper but its something :|

Mine's coming off when it expires (May 2015).

Then I might make my own version and stick that in each year.

Yes this! And u like the standard BMW holder! However, saves a lot of messing about when you forget and leave it to the last minute.

No way keeping mine displayed and will transfer the last one in every vehicle in future, plus my BMW tax disc holder says I'm in the ultimate driving machine :D

I am looking forward to seeing nothing on my windscreen.

Why do you need a reminder? It comes in the post anyway ...

To me it looks like the owner is not up to date on the rules and is a worthy target to see what else is wrong, like missing insurance, missing MOT, bald tyres ... :evil:

I've still got my replacement tax disc sat in the envelope it arrived in. Never put it on and I will be removing the holder tomorrow. It was never fitted the best anyway by the dealer not me I will add.

You guys do realise that by taking it off it doesn't mean you have no tax anymore? You don't need to keep it there til it expires.
