No doubt and/or the G42. This is what a BMW should like like instead of the ugly tack on bits idiot Casas is putting on the cars with these 2 new models.

Well we are a long ways from each other my friend. But here in Canada they don't really care where it is mounted as long as it's on the front somewhere.
Even sitting on the dash seems to keep the cops from pulling you over.
Dealers here only need one rear plate so cops are used to seeing it a bit.
But then they would expect to see the yellow dealer plate on the back.
Some provinces in Canada don't require the front plate.

Most of the car looks matte while the hood looks glossy. Is that just something going on with the photos? It almost looks like you put stealth PPF on everything except the hood. What am I missing?

Looks nice though.

Righto. I reconfirmed and it needs to be screw mounted. So going down the painful path.

geez, isn't that the actual truth: an 8 tenths M8? if BMW had done that I'd have one by now, but the way they seem to be headed….I may never sell my six y/o F82.

What a strange rule really. Possibly to prevent quick removal of a plate??? I don't really understand.
How about this aspect. A tow hook mounted plated does use screws technically. Plus it is secured to the vehicle with a giant bolt. So really that meets the requirements to me. Fastened to the car with steel just like they seem to want. Imo you're good there.
Seems a small technicality to me. Would a cop or judge not agree. It's fastened just as well if not better.
I used this one and it works quite well.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hope that helps cause I would never drill the bumper of my car. I have that BMW oem mount tucked far away never to be used. Big Ugly thing that it is.
But I suppose the reality of it all is we have a plate on the front anyway. At least no holes in a very expensive bumper.

I agree. Rims and some carbon bits qualifies as a "build" now? It's a great looking car but nothing to write home about.
Well if it isn't the build police.

Curious, what else needs to be done to make it a build?. A quick 5 second visit to OPs profile shows he has full Akra exhaust. What's missing? A giant wang?

Plenty of builds make front page with same mods and maybe the only difference being springs. The noticeable difference between this car and those cars.. it's an M8. It doesn't need much to begin with.

So I will ask again, build police What is it missing to be a "build"?

Maybe you're new to this but everyone's "build" is, at minimum, same mods. If you're not posting the same comment on every "build" that's made front page, you're just coming off as a hater on this one.

If the car isn't to your taste then just say that, dumbass 🙄

I told my Dealer to not drill the front bumper. I would and did use a tow hook plate mount. At least it is a not drilled. The plate looks horrible now matter where it goes imo. But You and I are stuck with them.
I told my dealer if they drilled the bumper we had no deal anymore.
They didn't so all was fine. I like the tow hook idea better and am satisfied as best I can be.

I have always told the dealers that if they drill the bumper on my car, they can keep it. Driven all over the US east coast and Ontario/Quebec for the last 20 years without a front plate and no issues.

Without matte varnish, she would possibly be even more irresistible even if that is hard to imagine. Stuning beauty!

As a side note, why in your country the license plate is mix match of Arabic word and English numbers?

Answer is because if we take the car to Any western countries they would be able to read the numbers 🤣 as lot of Middle Easterns take their cars to Europe and police can’t read their plates because they don’t understand what is says🤣 so the owners used to get away with traffic violations but like now it is readable
