It's still just a fix it ticket, can even get it while your parked.....there are some nice options aside from drilling holes in your bumper to mount.

Hey 'radz182',

I'm sorry to hear about your ticket, and the law on whether having front license plates varies from State to State, i.e. here in Georgia we are not required by State Law to have a front license plate, just a rear one. (You can check with your local law enforcement agency to be certain whenever in doubt).

Again sorry about your ticket!!.

Your e60 friend,

Eddie Presley aka Presley348

That's nice, cause the car really do look good without the license plates in the front.

I've never had a problem with not having front plate, or using the BMW chrome plate. I put my plate on a few weeks ago because I have a personalized plate so might as well show it off.

I attached the front plate by using double sided stickers..the stickers are extremely strong and the plate hasnt fallen as yet....removing the sticker tho, is not a problem and does not leave a mark

Lets see 18 or so years of driving, an only 3 total tickets for no front plate (2 while parked, 1 as a teenager in high school) total fine <$100.

So for the piece of mind of knowing your car looks better w/o the front plate, thats well worth my contribution to the state!!!
