US Mills front license plate for PDC cars

Hey Guys,

Any experiences with the US Mills front license plate on 2016 F30's with PDC (M sport bumpers)?


I am about to purchase the product below and want to make sure that it does not effect the sensors.

seems your image answered your question about needing the lightweight kit and having the mount a certain way. let us know how you make out. this product looks great. pricey but great quality and fitment from what ive read.

I have the regular US Millworks bracket on my M Sport with PDC, works just fine:



I got this for my old M Sport without PDC and was worried it wouldn't work on my new car. But it's just fine. I don't know how the lightweight bracket would provide a better fit.

Been two days since I ordered the item (used PayPal), but got no email/confirmation from the company. I got a receipt from PayPal that my
payment went through but that's it. I contacted them twice too but no responses.

Anybody experience the same when ordering from them?

I looked through my email... all I got was a PayPal receipt and a couple of days later an automatic email with shipping confirmation.

I bet you'll hear from them Monday when your package ships...

I have the US millworks kit on my F10, works PERFECTLY with PDC...

I was lucky enough to get a CPO car with no holes in the front bumper. I was going to keep it that way.

Can't say the same for the wife's F30. The dealer decided to attach the plate mount with some giant ass wood screws, and then the plate to that with more long ass wood screws. 4 mangled holes in the front bumper... Can't get her a millworks plate mount without going to the body shop first...

AGH I FEEL THE PAIN. Same thing happened with my last car so it made me aware this time. Glad the kit works perfect for you! Waiting for mine to arrive
