Yeah, looking at EBMCS03 posting, looks like velcro/double sided tape and wax string would do the job. I don't want to drill the bumper for sure...
One more thing that's funny is when the cop asked for my license, of course he meant driver license, but because it's still 6:30 in the morning, had not had my coffee, etc. I gave him my front license plate instead of my driver license, he was cracking up...

I never ever heard a person being pulled over JUST for no plate. Most of the time, they just tack it on to a ticket, like if you were speeding.
I still have my dealer tags still on.... its been almost a year.

And then he put his head and hands on the front headlights....to check/read the letterings to make sure it is a stock bmw oem headlight. Are you kidding me? At that point, i was about to high beam him.

Here in Philly, you don't need front plates, but right ova the bridge in New Jersey you need plates. I wear a plate on Angel, because it makes her look sexy, plus I had the plate left from the Porsche......So I screwed it on..........Didn't want to do it BUT...it's sexy. To bad you can't wear a foriegn plate in Cali!!!!

I really hate the look of a front license plate so I never put one on. I got a ticket for no reason today other than the fact that I had no front plate. Now i have to get one put on. Does anyone know of a mounting bracket that won't require me to drill into my M-tech kit? Maybe one that mounts from under and comes out to hold the plate? I really really really do not want to drill into my bumper. Any help would be great.

Do you think they'd leave you alone if you put the plate in the front windshield of my 5 while i'm parked?

None, and I mean none compare to this 545i. The 06 Corvette was faster, but not by much...

Just use double face tape, get it inspected, and then pull it off.

I went to the trouble of getting a custom European tag that matched my read license plate
and after 4 months got pulled over by a cop shooting laser on our freeway.
Tried to tell him the plate served the same purpose but got the ticket anyway.
Had an attorney friend who was working downtown on the court day and he
negotiated a deal with the city to drop the ticket and just pay court costs so I got over on them
by $25. He got a good pic of the license plate with his magnified laser gun scope.
What a jerk - somtimes I think they give BMW warnings on anything because they know we drive overlimit most of the time.
