There's no front license plates in my state. Who else is in that boat?
And while we are on the front of the car, I liked the first generation grille better because the top outer corners are more pointed, and the top of the grill conforms to the hood line nicely. I thought that was a unique and distinctive feature in BMW grill design, it coulda been a signature design element of the 1 series, but they had to go and make it generic for the 2nd gen.
Also notice this air dam design would seem to solve the 135i issue of having big ducts for brake cooling, but no foglights.
Here's another view of the 1st gen grill
compare that to the more rounded look of the 2nd gen grill at the top outside corners. Nothing distinctive about that.
