License plate on front

jh00@aol.com · 08-21-2018, 10:07 PM

Anyone have a state plate on the front of their car. I'm trying to see what it looks like and if there is even any room with the sensor and the grill there. If you have pics that would be super helpful

They don't have it for the f90, plus i hate when it's attached to the tow hitch.

I made a custom enclosure. I cut the plate down to minimum state specs and took a dark smoked enclosure and cut it to fit. Passes state inspection, so I am finished.

hard to see the license plate can you please send better pictures of the front and the application so that I can see it's not blocking the grill or the sensors?

I have a flip up license plate installed that I use when I'm driving into the city a lot or it's the middle of winter and the car is dirty and it's freezing etc...

Home made mount using the BMW original plate holder and about $20 of hardware. It avoids drilling any holes in the front bumper.
The straps feed in though existing spaces in the bumper and I zip tied them behind to hold it in place.
I added some rubber pads on the back of the plate holder so it doesn’t scratch the paint.

I don’t actually drive around with this attached, any front plate looks ugly, just a project to see how to fit the plate without using screws.

I'm in the Rochester/Finger Lakes area and so far, knock on wood, they leave the high end cars alone unless you are doing something stupid and get pulled over for something else.

Anyone try Skene Design for their front license plate?

Wow are they that uptight out there?

In the Seattle area nobody cares. Never one issue in years even when pulled over for other stuff.

ralbmw12 · 12-08-2018, 02:56 PM

Cravenspeed.com has a tow hook plate mount. Super easy to install and does not interfere with sensors. Youtube the video about platypus license plate and you will see how easy it is.

Mpowernut · 12-11-2018, 11:23 AM

This is what I did. Should keep the state happy enough for my "concerns".

wanesso · 12-11-2018, 11:32 AM

How about no license plate/holder?

Looks like you and I have same taste in cars - Raptor and m5.

josec70 · 12-12-2018, 07:30 AM

I'm glad Florida does not require front plates; difficult to make these plates look good.

JasonWitha5 · 10-03-2022, 11:21 PM

I didn’t want to drill anything or use a mount. Bottom line the regular plate up front ruins the look. I opt’d for a motorcycle size front license plate and some zip ties and it is good to go. If you’re interested in getting a mini plate for your car I know a guy on eBay that does a stellar job.

Move to a lawless state that doesn't require one
