cannot drive off the lot without a license plate
The CA told me I cannot drive it off dealer parking lot
without a front license plate: """ My management won't drill holes on the bumper but you cannot drive off the lot without a license plate frame and plate on the front bumper. I would advise to bring your tow hook frame ready to be placed on along with the printed license plate provided by Finance Department. CA LAW requires all new vehicles to have mounted frames and license plated prior to driving off the BMW parking lot. """ Is it true for folks lives in CA? I'm seeing so many new cars in the road without any plates (front and back). I don't know why dealership makes such big deal out of it. |

Front licence plate frame too! What is this, I'm sure the law doesn't state you need to do free advertising for the dealer!
I'd do double sided tape, this is what they do for Euro delivery in for Munich Welt pickup. A heat gun or hair dryer will get off any residue. |

My dealer said it just needs to be on when I take delivery. They used double sided tape and said what I do with it after I drive off is up to me. I took mine off immediately after I got home.

No frame, no delivery !
*** Sorry we cannot use double tapes. All frames must be mounted in the front bumper or mounted through the tow hook frame so we can install the prince plates. We will not release the car without front frame. Sorry for the inconvenience but we must follow the CA LAW at all times. *** What a law obedient dealership Man, it drives me nuts |

My dealership said essentially the same. They were very nice, but NYS is strict with the front plate law. I didn't have one on my M2 and was pulled over a few times for that reason. Made sure to never have a drink while driving it for that reason.
My CA just told me to bring in something to hold the plate on when I accept delivery and they won't drill holes. Any recommendations for a no-drill front plate holder? |

Right. I am currently in Romania but I guess this thread is about front plates.
My dealer did not drill holes but gave me a frame for the front should I relocate while still driving the G05.
