I know when I was in high school, friends with vehicles with dropped suspension and tow-hook attached plates where issued a summons because it was not in the correct location, so that's a proven fact. Even the registration sticker on the windshield cannon be above the inspection sticker, they need to be lined-up, side by side, left to right or a possible ticket. No joke, I was just lazy to clean off the glue from the old, expired sticker and was issued a $65 summons because I placed one sticker above the another. Here's a thread with some folks bitching about the rule, there are tons more in the regional Honda forums. https://www.expertlaw.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=156622 |

I have the carbino and love it. Bracket stays on all the time, license plate only goes on when I cross the border. Bracket is sleek enough you barely even notice it when the plate isn't on it.
Edit: After reading most peoples posts on here about carbinos I feel mine is mounted much lower than everyone elses. Hmm |

Does anyone know if STO N SHO will fit the M2C? Everywhere i read only says 2018. Dont really want to put it on the very bottom of bumper.
M2C bumper is really thin just right under the kidney grills, not sure if OG M2 is the same. Thanks! |

Seems like a great option at a reasonable price, solidly built, and most importantly doesn't require bumper drilling. Cheers y'all!!

I've changed my bumper from the OG to the Comp and when I looked for a solution for the plate I stumbled across this thread and went ahead and tried the double sided tape, I've also seen and read that some cars and EU come from the dealer with double sided tape which made me more comfortable with it.
It looks and fits amazing as it's as flush as it can get, plus from my testing (5 months + track + 230 km/h) it's not going anywhere lol. So I do believe the glue that someone advised here is a bit of an overkill and the tape does the job amazingly! |

Fishing wire in front of the 3m tape, then blow dryer and fingers to peel off the residue + goo gone at the end. Do no yank it off or else it will have a really good chance to remove paint.

There's an overwhelming amount of double-sided tape out there, even from 3M. If I want to do this to a US plate, which one should I use? |

FYI, I can't give a really long term indication for it so just saying my experience and from what I've read (which is that it's a common thing in EU). |

CravenSpeed tow-hook mount. Wasn't sure I would like the off-center mount, but I actually do like it. Beats screw holes.

Yes but it was from the company in Minnesota, Sto & Go?? Still have the same set up on my 2008 Z4 3.0si, and it works, but reluctantly. You have to replace a very tiny battery often. I also had one mounted on my 16 OG M2, and it lasted only 4.5 years. The little black module in picture is very sensitive to heat in the engine bay. It must be mounted as far back as possible, but heat is heat under there.
Getting retract unit mounted solidly is fiddly, and you will fettle about with it. I had to have special bracket made behind clip on both cars to simply support it all. Why did I do it? It wasn't the Bond effect...I simply did not wish the hole in bumper. I also had fun with it. BUT as the M2 burned out this year, I simply replaced with the manual retractable kind...works a treat. The Z4?? It's still working, but then a lot of things worked better 13 years ago than they do now. It IS a lot of trouble to go to...believe me. Better options are out there for sure. |

I have never ran a front plate on any vehicle I have ever owned. Never had an issue and if it ever becomes one its a $25 fine or just fix it put one on then take it back off via tow hook (:

I would have gone for one of the removal plates (even though they look flimsy as hell) but I got car used and already had the front plate mount which does not look terrible (but drilled bumper and obviously not going to ever remove it). I had the tow hook in last car and loved it at first but then stop liking the look.
And as far as rocking nothing and just getting a fix it ticket, that to me is a waste of my time, getting stopped and having to talk to a LEO and then having to go stress about buying one of the solutions that I could have bought to begin with. |

My car had some janky mount when I got it, but at least there were no holes in the bumper. Unfortunately, she tapped something with it, and it ended up causing an issue in the bumper anyway (good thing I got it fixed).
I never run a front plate, but will install this one just in case I get stopped and can put it on in 5 seconds to avoid a ticket. https://stonsho.com/2015-2018-bmw-m4...LnQw5CWZ65D-O8 |
