Hello from SF California

[rayvee]

I recently sold my 2000 540i with an M sports package and replaced it with a 2002 M5. I did not get a front license plate with the car and out here your fined $100 dollars for not having a plate in front. This is not a fix it ticket but a fine. My question is, does anybody know of any kits or ways to put the plate on? THe car looks great without one but I can't afford the fines.
There are no holes on the front bumber. Do I drill holes or what? thanks in advance.

A dealer should be able to get you the right bracket. Drilling may well be needed.

Doe sthe bumper have an insert that looks like it can be replaced with a license plate holder?(some bmws have an insert up there that can be replaced to either have or not have a plate.)


If not i would go to a body shop if your not comfortable doing it.
