You should have looked into Gominigo.com they sell something similar but looks like nicer quality and $30-$40 cheaper. GLWS though.

Cal1 Beem1n - that's way cheaper than ckyw113 suggestion, but still 3-4 times
higher than this license plate holder. You would be able to hook up a small
family with 3 to 4 vehicles and still have change for the cheap bubble gum.

thanks for the link.

[MissNatalie]

I just want your Alpine White Gangster license plate! lol..want ur stuff!!!

And...I think Ill stop by Autozone tomorrow and to this....

then the Police Station and try and get my front plate ticket signed off!!!!
Hopefully its really sunny so I can have all my windows rolled down when I go so I don't get another pretty pink slip for tint!!

[ckyw113]

Cal1 Beem1n - Thanks for the suggestion! I actually bought the Gominigo part for $70~ + shipping. It looks great. I originally purchased the CP-E part because it is a better designed part but unfortunately it just didn't fit.

FrankiE90 - You are definitely right that the autozone part is way cheaper but I didn't have the time nor the patience to build my own using th autozone part. It did come across my mind...

Thanks all!

Yeah after seeing this link I kinda want this bracket now. Haha. Congrats on your LCI Mtech btw. Shit looks clean. But so did your old e90

[g5pot]

I just found this thread today and went out to buy the bracket. Paint and install only took 40 mins. Looks great!

Thanks

[jmkworld]

not bad at all!

instead of mount/n the bracket to the mesh, i used 3
self tap'n screw under the open mouth area.
holds on like a champ , i'm going pad/rubber stopper behind the plate
so it doesnt' f up the paint/clear bra.

and the cool part is when i don't want to run the plate/
you can remove the two bolts on the bracket leaving just the small
upper bracket which u wont see.

Hi Frankie!

Any recommendation on what paint to use?

I am putting this bracket on my new E90. Very excited about my possibly cheapest mod . lol

Thanks for this wonderfully detailed thread.

Frankie90,

I like your solution to the front plate. I picked up the bracket at Autozone and I want to paint it black (or treat it in some way). However, I am concerned that paint will not stick to the metal which has a polishe, mirror finish. What has been your experience? Is the paint holding up? Did you use a black primer? A primer followed by a top coat of black enamel? What brand(s).

[1013mm]

spray paint it you can remove and spray again. easy. i haven't had to respray it since the beginning of this year when i first got it

[SpmnE9zero]

Frankie you is a wise man!

man not really.
u know with the LCI MTECH it's different.
there's less room to self tape where i did on the pre-lci.

that's the next new project.

Also did you sand the bracket before painting it?
Does the plate flop around at all or is it solid?

Tag,

I noticed you also have a 335is. The bumper on our cars are different that the one on Frankie's e90.

Did you mount your plate yet? Any problems? Did you use the self-tapping screws?

[Tag]

Yeah, the original write up I did in this thread was on my previous 335i but I did mount the same license plate bracket on my 335is. It pretty much went in the same as my last car. I did use self tapping screws but you still need to get a small drill bit and start off a hole by hand, DO NOT USE A DRILL. Make sure the bit is smaller than the threads of the self tapping screws or else the hole will be too big for them to bite into the bumper. I tried without making a pilot hole first but it just wasn't working out. The plastic is not like wood or metal, it's too slippery for the self tapping screws to really grab hold.
