license plate mount to front on 430i
Does anyone have recommendations on mounting a front license plate on a 2020 430i xDrive convertible? I'd rather not drill holes through the bumper so I'm looking for a mounting bracket that fits. There are tow hook options available but they might have sensor issues.

Couple suggestion on this thread. Didn't look, but I'm assuming the places recommended also have something for the 4-series.

Maybe check out a Sto-N-Go mount. They have models that mount to the bottom center of your bumper fascia, and have the plate mounted on a (removable) 90deg angle bracket.

For a 2020 430i (looking at your short post history), it depends if you have the M-Sport package, I see two different front bumpers, one with a grill where you can mount a true no-drill Carbonio: https://carbonio.com/products/bmw-4-...sports-package
Otherwise, you might be stuck with a Sto N Sho, which still requires drilling (but on the underside of the bumper so not as visible). With such a big thick flat section, I would look into 3M automotive double-sided tape, if you google it surprisingly many enthusiasts mount it that way. YMMV Edit: Here's another option that works with horizontal slats on the lower portion of the grill, not sure if the 2 screw holder would work with the non-M-Sport bumper: https://www.slybrackets.com/store/SL...LLE-p590976797 Last edited by jkoral; 07-19-2024 at 12:35 PM.. |

Our front plate is held on by double stick foam tape. It has been on there for over a decade. Came from the factory that way as we an ED.
