So you haven't read James May's book then ? He is talking about a W 4 STE of M 9 NEY and STU 91D BUG 63 R for buying special plates.
And he uses A 740 BMW as the prime example - being pointless as it states this on the bootlid already

(Apologies to the owner of A 740 BMW if member of this forum !)

Save the money and get all the Options on the 530 instead - unless you're into making money from these.

I agree - there are far more useful ways to spend money than that plate....

I wonder how they dream the price up?

+1 ... unless you're going to be making money on them, spend the $$$ on options or on a personal plate that means something more personal to you
