[2021 X4M Comp]Front license plate holder recommendation?

hiahia · 01-05-2021, 12:24 PM

Hi all,

I am having troubles finding the proper front license plate holder(not a fan to drill holes) for the 2021 X4M Comp. Can anyone share if you have found any that works perfectly?

I tried the US Mill Work, but it does not have the 2021 model available.
I tried the CravenSpeed, but it will block the front right sensor, which goes off every time when you slow down.

Thanks

I purchased a bracket from “slybrackets.com”. Before taking delivery of my 2020 x4m comp i told them not to drill holes in the front bumper. Instead I ordered a bracket from that website and was able to mount it in front of lower grille. Also the mount used was called Bozzmount MG for the mesh/honeycomb style grille. I preferred the plate having only two screws to mount the license plate.

I never drilled my plate on for any of my cars. for my X3M comp i used the same Sto N Sho plate braket i had on my f80 m3.

i keep plate sto'd under my seat clip it on only when the car is parked. But you can also drive with the plate mounted on.

if i didn't already own it from my f80, i wouldn't recommend it. not sure you can see in that pic, but the plate isn't square with the ground because that's the only way i could get it to clear the parking sensor, and even then i get a phantom every once in a while...

I had a sto n sho come off on the highway and lost my front license plate ... I screwed it and used the tape ... carbonio has been much more secure

Leave it off. I have been leaving off front plate for years. Have never been bothered by police. Hope I haven't jinxed myself. Live in NJ.
