Cars don't go through the window tunnel with a front plate mount meaning they don't account for the additional drag, noise etc. These are minimal things yet they bother me which is why I never keep one mounted. I had an offset mount of my X3 M40i which screwed in under the bumper and had a removable section for your plate ie I never had mine mounted. When I'd get pulled over I usually said I forgot to remount the plate after way the car. So far I haven't gotten a ticket only warnings.

Fully agreed - I'm in the 'hate it' camp on front plates. Quoting myself in multiple conversations with esteemed revenue enforcement agents in the great state of New Jersey - "What, like I'm really going to flee a crime scene in Reverse?"
It is, however, a great mulligan for potential moving violation citations, so yin/yang IMO.
