That would be ideal - but they cost $500 to $1000 and may invalidate the warranty (since i have a CPO), unless I am wrong perhaps!

I understand its not the best solution but for $300 its not a bad solution. My only other question is - can this be easily stolen?

I guess it is about as easy as stealing your license plate bracket just with a cable to cut. But there are several parts which are installed inside the car which would be missing. I have a pdf with instructions to install in a 3 series. I can email if you like. I would test it and put up pictures but I through my back out.
