    Go for it. It set mine front end off. Make sure to get an Embossed metal plate and I would go with something more subtle than your ideas. Like a 3 letter short hand TRM just an example and then maybe your cars production date.

        LMAO. Very clever

        I'll think of something in the end, I ran a Europlate in California on a Zinnoberrot (loud color) for a year and never had any issues but a thumbs up from a CHP officer.

        I think it's borderline tacky since it's not an M body, but it is M3 powered. The badge is obviously a no go, I'd never consider it, but the license plate could be a conversation starter too. Classmates, shit even people at the bars (tonight) were whacking my car off with both hands-and the conversations always lead to what's under the hood.

        I'm not really concerned about others opinions, everyone has one and everyone has their own taste. I was just throwing out a feeler, obviously I'm going to do whatever I decide upon, just seeing R3V's input.

        I also want something to fill these holes right here. Looks incomplete, my buddy really pointed it out when we were shooting the other night.

          If you are just worried about the wholes in the front, buy the trim piece that has "bmw" stamped into it. I think its on bavautos website, its made to fit the ident in the late model bumpers for a cleaner look.
          Imo that would be a better solution than mounting a cheesy europlate.

                Euro bumpers pretty much necessitate the need for a euro plate. They look so unfinished without them.

                      I spoke too soon lmao. Just minding my own business hanging out at the river with 100+ people (there was a car show event going on) and walked back to this. Sheriff on that street alone got 30+ cars for license plates, tint, expired registration tags, etc.

                      ...And driving up to the river I got snippered by CHP and his radar gun doing 70mph in a 55mph. I just tapped my brakes, gave him a wave and a smile insinuating "fuck-I'm sorry" and he gave me a thumbs up.

                        Sucky! Wish they worried more about temp tags behind windows with 5% tint than a front plate. Cali must really hate no front plate, goin on 6 years without a front plate.

                        Just do the regulat vanity plates w/ "Fr3sh", better than a ticket.
