We are not planning one. ACC is a pretty rare option on these cars and it poses a big problem to making a bracket that works on ACC cars.

cheers for the shout.. i will shoot them an email. How's the fit and any interference with parking sensors?

No issues with PDC sensors with the positioning.
By any chance do you have the direct purchase link? For some reason when I see the store on Amazon, it's only showing the g20 3 series mount. Much appreciated!

Maybe a dumb idea, but is there enough room between the grill and radiator to where you could mount a retractable flip up plate mount?

ordered the plate from rho-plate out in Burnaby BC per Mikli suggestion ... most promising solution so far!

Works on license plate sizes from anywhere in the world and does not interfere with the front camera or parking sensors. Here is the product link:

Unfortunately they claim it won't work if you have the Driving Assistance Professional Package (that seems to be what they are referring to by Adaptive Cruise Control), which I have in my order.

"APPLICATIONS
2021+ BMW M3 (G80 body) all variations including M3 Competition *
2021+ BMW M4 (G82 body) all variations including M4 Competition *
* Does not fit cars fitted with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Cars with ACC have a VERY large oval shaped sensor interrupting the bottom half of the right side (when viewed from the front) kidney grille "

Anyone take delivery yet that can describe how the front license bracket is attached? Are the holes drilled into the black horizontal crossbar in the grill, or the vertical body-colored strip in the middle of the grill? I would think the former. I won't mind holes drilled into the black plastic as much. I've run without front plates on my last three cars in TX without getting pulled over for it, but thinking about putting it on this time as I'm likely to do road trips with this car, which I never did with my M2C or Cayman S.

I’ve attached pics of the stock bracket. If used it would screw into the horizontal center crossbar...

Oregon is still very slow with new vehicle registrations, but I got my paper registration in the mail yesterday and it shows the plate number. I don't know when the plates are actually going to show up, but I ordered the Carbonio mount this morning. If the plates show up soon, I'll post a photo once it's mounted.

Carbonio Mount with added whimsy

My plates showed up on Friday and my Carbonio mount was sitting waiting for it. Install was simple, but I had to take the mounts off and turn them around so that the tightening nuts could be reached, which was a bit strange. Overall, this mount is easier to remove and put back on than the Carbonio mount I had on my M2C.

I'll grab another pic later today from further away.

Thoughts?
I say mount it on the wall in your garage. I live in CT and we require a front plate too. I've never put one on.

LOL In MD we require one too, but I never mount it. It stays in the trunk. But if a cop does ask, I just say, "Bracket fell off, it's in the trunk, waiting for my new one to arrive." They know I'm lying. But have never gotten a ticket, just a warning.

If I could avoid a certain suburb that's between my little 'burb and the rest of the metro, I could get PROBABLY get away with it. But that area funds MOST of it's Police budget from tickets. I've seen the breakdown. It's a revenue-generating exercise for them and they are not nice about it. Run a front plate or don't is massively linked to where you live in each front-plate State and how much you're willing to be annoyed.

how quickly can that carbonio mount be taken on and off? is it suitable if you want to just pop the plate on occasionally as needed?

Very quickly. This version is two tension bolt/spring/thingys that hold one side of the clips in place. 30 seconds on and off once you're familiar with it. I'm a little concerned that it would also be 30 seconds for someone else to take it...
