Any one mount a Euro plate? There's a good

deal on Euro plates and I was wondering if anyone has mounted one in front? I'll keep the state issued one in back. I have a front plate mount already. Will that be a problem?

I only have one plate on right now. I still have the dealer insert in the front plate. If I get a Euro plate, it'll have the same same letters as my real plate.

everything will be great until the first time you get pulled over.

What does a euro plate look like? Is it just a different shape?

dont do it...dual plates looks silly. plus, theres no need. and it doesnt help if your euro has the same "plate" as your us plate.

Thanks for the pic silkster.
Did you install it yourself, or was the dealer willing to do it?
The rest of you... really need to loosen up. The Euro plate just looks a lot better than the rectangle brick of the standard plate. I guess it's not as big a deal on an X5, but on my M3, it's a huge difference.

For all you guys who think cops will still give you a ticket... maybe they will, but my buddy has one on his M3 and the cop checked out both ends and said, "that's a cool plate."
