Front license plate
I asked my dealer on site of installation for front license plate and they recommended above the ACC sensor on front bumper
Looks like I have made a mistake because reviewing on thread says most people don’t have it and some even have it in the side? Wanted to know the hives thought Thanks |

Mine is front and center (installed by PCD). It just means they drilled into the bumber to install it. Many who have it on the side are using attachments or otherwise to try and avoid drilling into the bumber. Most X7’s in Chciago area that I see also have it front and center on th bumper.

I was looking at DIY-ing this myself. Already picked up the rare earth magnets. Just need to climb underneath and find where to glue them on. |

Sure thing. There's also a video from the shop that made it. They can make mounts for pretty much any car, since it's all custom made. Apparently they tested these at 180mph on a GT2 RS, not sure how true is that though.

In TX the front is required, but I see people without front plates all the time. I don't think it something we get pulled over for very much if ever down here. Might just check locally - you might not have any issues.

I haven’t had a front tag on any of my vehicles in the past 15-20 years, and had very dark tint (nowhere near legal) on top of that, and haven’t been bothered by the boys in blue whatsoever. Just say no to front tags people. They look like crap.

Required in MN also, but they look ugly and cheap. Not drilling holes in a 100k car. Seen lots of telsa and bimmer not having them as wel. Your car do as you wish if you want them.

Here's who I used: https://carbonio.com/
Just centered between the sensor and the camera. No issues.

Cops don’t care though, they will only write tickets for no plate if they pull you over for something else. They don’t pull over exclusively for no front plate. Besides, it’s only $25 fine if they do write up. |
