Much simpler solution. And NO it doesn't block air flow. $0.25. Two twisty ties.
I'm sure I'll get flamed but it works great.

Nice, Reed! Great that it fits in there without having to cut the plate (from what I can tell)
I'll have to try that out with mine in a few weeks. |

I just used the 3m tape on Sto N Sho.... seems pretty sturdy... though I literally have never driven with the plate on. It's for emergency situations only, like if I get stopped by the popo.

Not bad - I did something similar to my old Miata, never had airflow issues w/that either.

It comes with two clear rubber "bumper" dots to put on the back of the license plate (you can see them in my profile photo), plus the angle and reach of the bracket are both adjustable, so you can position it out further than I have mine, but I figured it's safe from the wind with those rubber bits on the back of the plate. I'd probably take it off for a car wash - it's quick and easy to take on and off.

Thank you for ur kind explanation. I was told from my SA saying that they do have no-drill plate mount similar to this (which i do not have to pay). I will see what my car comes out and buy this one if necessary Thanks again |

I installed the Carbonio plate holder last night...really easy and was exactly what I was looking for. Quality product all around. Not suitable for automatic car wash which is not an issue for me since I always hand wash my car.

Parview BMW said that they carry Sto N Sho mount and told me to install this instead of conventional mount.
So I did check the youtube but all the installation video shows drilling on the front bumper underneath (which is not visible but still wish to avoid ANY DRILLING). Did you get it done from Parview or any dealer? or DIY? Can you share your mount and how it is taped?? |

This option looks the goods for those that want to permanently mount their plate without drilling holes.
But does anyone have any suggestions for those (me who only want to quickly/easily throw the front plate on every now and then when parking in the city (to avoid tickets from meter maids?) Suggestions appreciated! |

To me offset always meant 'moded ' or even more than that it meant 'special' like hey this is an ///M not a 2er but at the same time it's a bit douchey. My wife said get the center one but if I listened to her on everything I wouldn't have an m2!

Really curious if this mount will crack the plastic grill where it is attached. I'm sure the grill will not take much stress.
I've had several mounts and recently went to Millworks. Innovative design and very well made. Highly recommended. |
