Front license plate bracket

jparnes1 · 02-01-2012, 01:57 PM

3M tape is very good. It's super strong. If you ever want to get your license plate off you'll need a heat gun to soften the tape. Otherwise you run a risk of peeling off paint.

I found Dental Floss works too.

Heat gun is overkill, hairdryer would work.

Goof off to get any residue off.

Its the same process as revmove the Stupid Side S Drive 3.5i badges.

Anyone have a photo of the OEM bracket that BMW dealer puts on? I might have to go ahead and drill to center for a better look.

Looked at the Skene web site too but no current photo's of their bracket mounted on an E89.

Thanks
