Has anyone tried the STO N SHO Front License Plate Bracket?

Yes. No drilling required and can't see the bracket. I only mount the plate maybe once a month when I am parked

Yep, I have it too.

No drilling…uses existing screws, easy peasy.

Can you guys post a video how easy it is to pop on/off?

And does it block any sensors?

[Gfit]

I'm away for a week but if someone doesn't get to it before I get back I will post a video. Takes less than 5 seconds to mount and take off.

I have the Sto N Sho on both my F82 and GLE. Super easy to pop plate on and off - just pull the pin with ring attached. I think it would look good attached to the bottom lip, but not sure there'd be enough clearance. I riveted the plate and bracket to a piece of carbon fiber for rigidity and it works great. New bracket has four support points, so maybe that's not necessary.

Gfit, i need to be more specific. Has anyone attached the Sto N Sho License Plate Bracket on the front of a 2021/22 BMW G80/82 M3/M4 MT/Comp RWD/XDrive. ??????

Yes. I have a 2022 M3Cx. It attaches using existing screws under front bumper. When I ordered it wasn't listed on the website so I needed to call to order. Not sure if they listed it since then.

I also installed the Sto N Sho on my g82x. Happy to post pics/video if still helpful but I think I saw someone post a video on here already.

Awesome solution, but as listed, if you have drivers assistance package it blocks the radar when the plate is attached.

Will the Sto N Sho work with the M-performance front lip or one of the Amazon / eBay front lips? Or will that make the two existing screws inaccessible?

Thanks for that call out I did not realize this. I plan on buying this once I get my M3. Do you have a picture of it covering the sensor?

I don't think covering the sensor will be a big deal, depending on how often you'll have the plate installed. For me, it will only be on when I am parked in downtown Chicago or at O'hare. The suburbs don't care. I won't be driving with it on.

Will sto and sho be installable over carbon fiber front lip?

Don’t plan on driving with it either but I had it for my mustang and would sometimes forget to take it off or during the winters it is so damn cold, too lazy to take it off. I wonder if it intrudes so much, that it blocks functionality.

Since I live in the city, I do anticipate using it quite often.

I can't say for sure but if the lip installs using the existing bumper screws then this will work as well since it using the 2 screws in the center.

I'd like to see some before/after photos - especially with how it blocks the radar.

Yep... if you live in the city it's a different conversation.

Here is a before and after shot showing the partially blocked radar panel. Car also alerts you that driving assistance features are unavailable.

Not sure how the CF lip installs, so can't speak to that, but I included a pic of the hardware you attach using the two pre-existing screws in case that helps.

[astroricardo]

Wow this whole thread is depressing, hadn't thought about the front tag. Nice fix, but it sucks that the mount interferes with the Driving Assistance features.

[Greer]

No front plate ever for me. If I lived in NYC I would find a way to temporarily attach the plate to the front while I was parked, then put in the trunk while I was driving.

It's really not that big of a deal - I'll take this solution as stated above with this solution can leave it off unless parking on a city street. I work in Long Island and park in my driveway and mostly private lots so this works for me.

[Team Tonka]

Nice that is uses existing holes. I suppose a person could offset it towards the drivers side to maybe not impact the radar. But, not sure if that would work - or how ugly that would be?

I'll be waiting for someone to try this - still my plan, but heck - they haven't even started building my M3.
