E-series BMW Performance parts were the jam; they had so many good things. The only thing missing were LSDs, which they do offer now for Fxx, but still, much better than the tacky carbon shit nowadays. Some stuff was rare like the carbon door sills or front bumpers and is impossible to find now.

I've got this plate holder; it does not have a BMW part number, but it's sold by the factory dealership in Munich and I've seen it on press & marketing cars on BMW's IG pages. I'm an OEM guy. It's an F80 so no fake M badgery here lol.
No plate frame up front, I used a double-sided tape to stick the front plate on without a frame for a clean look.

While I find it funny I probably wouldn't put something like that on giving them more random reasons to harass/pull you over lol

I can't believe there's a license plate with a monthly bill...anyways its probably not 100% accurate but I like what I've got on there.

You can always leave it off and tell the officer that you don't have so the car is stopped to ensure you, the owner, is driving it.

Real cops are not the issue. Its the parking/traffic/meter maids that go around looking for things to give tickets for. Literally got tickets in front my house.

Well... public roads were never private. Especially in a place like NYC.

Not sure about NY but it works down South. Maybe because the officers here have better things to do than writing tickets for revenue.

I prefer frameless for the clean look, but since I have the black plates, I wouldn't mind a black frame. I'm not sure I would want carbon fiber to match my roof, rear valence, exhaust and front splitter since the purpose of CF is to lighten and no frame is lighter lol. I'm not sure I would want an ///M either since I think the solo ///M3 CS badge looks better alone than paired with another on the frame, it makes it stand out more.

YES. 99% of the time it drives me up the wall, same goes for those tacky dealer-applied trunk badges. Talk about paying to be a walking, talking advertisement. And most people are completely oblivious.

Not saying I don't enjoy a vintage dealer frame from time to time, or a unique location. But that's about it, 99% of cars on the road it makes me go wild how out-to-lunch people are about this kind of thing.

I went this one from a Tail of the Dragon run. I've ran it and the others in that area a few times. It's a great time!
