Front plate options/ideas for an X5M Comp
I finally got my plates for my X5MC.
What have folks done to mount the front plate? Seems like a real pity to drill holes in the front bumper. Thanks! |

Don't install or use tow hook plate mount.

I think most police won't bother stopping you without a front plate BUT I was stopped and given a verbal warning in CT for not having a plate. It really was in the trunk of my Porsche! The officer didn't want to see it but wanted me to know he could have written me up. I don't want to give police an excuse to pull me over so I always have my front plate mounted now (with a tow hook mount)

I came across this awhile ago: Skene Brackets
You still have to drill into the bumper, but it's from the bottom so you don't see it. Not a perfect solution, but seems like a good compromise. Also just to clarify, no idea if this will work on an M-sport, and haven't used the product myself. |

Seems to me that you need to be aware of sensor locations so that the plate wouldn't block them

I have a corvette in NJ and refused to mount a front plate since I got it in 2013 (ole rebel here!). Have a 2022 X5 M50i on order for PCD and will NOT put front plate on. In Monmouth county here.
