double sided tape would be your best bet, but dont you have to have a front plate or you get a ticket? or is that just NYC?

You can call me whatever, FYI I had my E66 for 3yrs with front Euro plate. never get pulled over unless you drive like an idiot at outrageous speeds in the street causing attention then you will be asking for a ticket. IMHO

Cars (and motorcycles) are one of the last, truly unlimited expressions of uniqueness remaining, IMHO. I'm originally from England, so each time I go back to visit my big brother outside of London I try to visit a junkyard or swap meet and buy an old English registration plate (i.e. license plate) to bring back to America with me. I now have a few of them.
I don't have a Brit plate on my current E60 (would just look wrong), but for some reason, before I bought my latest Bimmer a year and a half ago, I put one of them on my '96 Miata. (See below.) Seemed to work on that street-legal go-kart...
Just drill holes in the plate to match the spacing of your US-spec plate. (Consider applying plate-colored paint to the screws to make the application seamless.)

Right, because every other mod we've seen here isn't just for decor and/or usefulness 
Some even get a Vanity euro plate, again...it's more of an aesthetic mod...like an M-tech kit, HID fogs, or AE's, etc.....point being, personal preference as usual should take precedence...

IMO, Still looks better without a plate. I'll pay the $10 or $20 fix-it ticket if needed...
