US Millworks front plate mount on F30

I wanted to see if anyone else is having issues with their plate mount triggering the PDC? I did order the version that wasn't suppose to trigger the PDC (has holes all over the back). But it seems no matter how I place the plate, it will trigger one of the sensors. Wanted to see if anyone found a spot that doesn't trigger the PDC.

Regular bumper should not cause PDC conflicts. It's the M Sport bumber that usually does. I just saw another member post a picture of installation.

Both of our BMW vehicles, including 2017 BMW 440i GC M Sport, have US Millworks mounts. No issues.

You are correct. It has to be mounted a bit on the high side as you pic shows. I had to do that on a 2016 3 series wagon I owned.

It works fine on my wife's F36 M sport with PDC. You have to invert the bracket and install it high.
