Greetings:
I've seen a number of 5 series vehicles without front license plates and, IMHO, the car looks better without one....question: my car is 3 weeks old and there is a square space that holds the license plate that appears welded on...it does not appear as though the license plate holder is easily removed....therefore, is there a special plastic strip that I need to order that will give me the look I am seeking?....should I have made arrangements with my dealer when ordering the car and/or prior to picking up the car?

People make plugs for those holes. It has been posted before and it looks pretty sharp. I actually like having my front plate on and will hopefully keep my Euro plate on my car when I return to the states. If not I will have one made like this one:

Except the "R" wouldn't look as normal in the mirror as the picture suggests.
I wonder what other phrases you could spell?...

Well, I dont have my pictures with me but since I have been here I have seen plates that had the following words:
BITCH
CUM
FAG
BARS
MILF
COCK
BITEN 666
BAD MF
A little Humorous for us english speaking folk. These plates are from Germany and Belgium.

That's funny -- did they spell those words left to right? In my earlier post, I was wondering what could be spelled backwards so that it would read properly in a mirror...

Wasn't backwards. Still looked great though. In my area, Bitburg-Prum, the first 3 letters of the plate are BIT. Americans can be thieves around here so people with a BITCH plate have to be careful.
