Looks great. I just got one to put on my M8. Any problems aligning it so that the eye in the lower grill is not blocked?
Did you use all three bolts or just the big one? |

I've had mine on for a while and it works great. It does not interfere with the "eye" for the cruise control. I tried to use it with just the double sided tape, but that wasn't strong enough. So I had to use the one big bolt and it's been fine. I figure one hole where nobody can see it is fine.

I wish they would allow us to have Euro license plates up front. The elongated plates look so much better. |

In MA it's a moving violation that adds points. I generally don't care that much but for the M5/M8 somehow it's worse. The Euro plates look OK. I can live with the look but like that this doesn't require drilling in the front and can be removed easily. I had used Skene Design mounts in the past but this is more stout.

Cops need to find better stuff to do. I haven't had a front plate on any of my cars in 15 years and haven't really had an issue even though they are required here.

+1000. Rather than dealing with distracted, aggressive and incompetent drivers, they would prefer to give tickets for lack of front plates.
This weekend a new law goes into place that does not permit one to hold a cell phone while driving. $100 ticket for the first infraction and then higher after that. Maybe that will be how they will spend their time going forward. |

I’ve got a question for California Peeps: When I’m there, I notice half the cars have front plates, Are the others just taking chances on a ticket? Do the cops even care? Thanks

Use zip ties to put it on for inspection time and aside from that no issue. |

Depends on the city. Where I live, the cops will go out of their way to cite you for no front plate.

I have a Carbonio screen mount that works great (as long as you don't have the cruise sensor), if I ever need to put the plate on the car. |

I think that is a great law.
