    Is it tacky...

    I know it's tacky to put ///M badges on non M cars. That's a given. I've been thinking about a europlate for a while now, I think it would set off the front.

    1989 325i w/ S50 1995 M3 Swap

    My ideas were:

    EXCÜSE M3
    EUROKRACY
    M3NTAL

    (half kidding)
    IMDABES

    Is it tacky to have an M3 related license plate even with M3 internals?

      Euro plates are kind of tacky on a late model anyways.

          Not any more than an early model. I never associated euro plates with being cool only for new or only for old BMWs.

          If your state doesn't require front plates then you can pull it off. But then I think it would look better without a plate at all, simple and clean.
          If your state does require a front plate then you can't really do it. And putting a US plate over a euro plate looks horrible and stupid.

              Tacky, just go with something 3 related. I vote "FR3SH" and then just sharpie As fuck next to it.

              Edit * M3ntal is on an M3 already somewhere on these forums.

                I think an actual euro license plate looks better than some cheesy one that tries to say something funny.

                    I put a Euro plate over my US plate. Fuck front plates.

                      IMDABES, is the bes idea of all of those. I think they are very rockable and you can do a lot customization. All up to you
                      Different strokes for different folks.

                        They look gay as hell on diving board cars. But now if someone did a euro bumper swap on an early model. Then you do need something to fill that space.

                          My feeling is that fake Euro plates are retarded 99.999% of the time.

                            I got DEUTCHBAG sitting in the rear window of my 330i.

                            I'm getting BOLLOCKS to put on the Rover. Fuck everyone behind me.

                              With all due respect, the remaining .001 percent

                              FYI: The front plate matched the actual rear one, which wasn't a vanity plate. That's just what I ended up with when I first registered the car in Hawaii.
