Nice license plate holder -

lebaaron · 10-22-2021, 09:36 AM

Hi

I was wondering what kit (license plate holder and screws - Trunk only ) you are using and that doesn't rust! I cannot find something that is discreet (no M performance) and that don't rust.

Suggestions are welcome.

thx

I use a simple black slim frame I purchased from Amazon.

Here's the link. I had to order specific screws to fit the license plate for BMW though and ordered a black screw set to match.

Here's mine! People notice. But not all. Discreet, especially in Texas.

Spend $2 on Amazon and get one made of rubber. Wont have to worry about anything and you can buy a new one every year if you felt like it.

This OEM one is slim, black, and has held up very well.

+1 for soft silicone frames. They wont chatter against your paint marring it at high speeds or while being pressure washed.

Billfitz · 10-26-2021, 09:53 PM

I don't know about the F32 but my F34 has spacers between the front bumper and rear sheet metal that prevent the plates from touching any painted surfaces.

quakerroatmeal · 10-26-2021, 09:59 PM

My F36 has that spacer as well. Is that what it's for?

lebaaron · 10-28-2021, 10:22 AM

Thx for all the suggestions, I'll go with the silicone one probably.
