Can't speak to WA, but I've lived in CA for 15 years and never had a front plate. Got 2 tickets in that time. $10 fix it ticket.

That just doesnt make sense... if you're to put on the stupid chrome roundal plate might as well put on the real plate. By then you've already ruined the lines of the car and your bumper is drilled already.

Paper dealer plate is the dealer taking advantage and advertising...
No plate at all, like me when new, is those that dont want to advertise!

But shouldn't you receive the plate before you take deliver of your car? That's strange, in HK plates are not government issue so we can make our own plate as long as it is yellow on the back and white on the front. But I prefer the dealer made one coz it comes with a BMW and a Mini logo

You get a piece of paper to stick on your windshield to show that you have paied the license fee and thats it.

In US, there is no waiting period. You walk in to the car dealer, pick the car you like, and drive it home. The registration and license plate will mail it to you lately. I bought my e60 3 months ago, I just received my plate last week, I am not planning to put it on for another few months.
I am confused with many people from US waiting for their new e60 in this forum. They are waiting for their e60 to be build and with a delivery date. If you are looking for a uniqe color, special options, or it's a 550/M5, that I can understand. But most of them are very standard colors and options, why the wait?? Can anyone explain. thanks.
