Go for it I say, and the ones that you're planning on getting sound great, there's a story behind them and they fit with the car model. Yeah definately, do it. My business is called FORTIS so I got FOR 715.

Excellent...thank you for the motivation to actually do this! Great idea for you plates as well! Yes, I do have Workingman's Dead, along with everything else they put out. I used to trade a lot of their live music from shows and eventually had a huge collection on DAT (digital audio tape), that I just spent the last year transferring to .wav files, splitting them up, tagging them and outputting to mp3...I ended up with roughly 225gb of live music, all soundboards from 1965 > 1993....about 23,000 tracks altogether. Was a helluva project and totally tedious...so glad I'm done!

In GA they are called "prestige" plates and I've got 'em on my Camaro. I've been thinking about getting them for the BMW but haven't found anything I really like.
If you don't mind the additional costs (one-time production fee and annual prestige license plate renewal fees) then I say go for it.
Just keep it realistic - down here I've seen some pathetic ones like "STANGEATR" on a V6 Camaro and 2FAST4U on a ragged-out Honda Civic.

SO long as you don't do the mindless, redundant stuff (like "535xi" or My "535xi" etc.) then I say go for it!!

I had 5 personalized plates in last 3 years. I changed mine because I used to pay $40 a year, now its $250! I now have a generic black and white one instead. It looks good with my theme though
