good to know, maybe next time the process should be put those 3M thing on first then wrap with XEPL on the bumper (of course the guy then has to cut out holes for it)

oh I trust you, though temperature variation would be another thing, and not sure about over XPEL this time, but definitely will try that first next time...
off topic, if you're a motorcycle guy, can't imagine you would find any car fast enough, motorcycle is more "thrilling" even if it's at low speed |

Any updated solutions on this ?
I have moved from FL to VA and just cant bring myself to drill holes in the bumper therefore the front tag sits on the floor board in the passenger rear. I do need to place it on soon, so far no real issues but no real reason to create an issue. I am not a fan of the side mounted tow hook option. so if anyone else has a front plate mounted please post up a picture and what brand you are using and if you had to drill holes or not. THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!

do you have the radar on the lower part of the grill, if not I think I saw a few option
For example this https://carbonio.com/products/bmw-m-...se-plate-mount Won't work if you got radar |

I’ve got the US Mill Works tow hook mount on both my M3 and M550. They don’t interfere with the PDC sensors as long as you mount them correctly. The off center look is subjective, but I’ve gone through a few different brands of these types of mounts and nothing is as solid as these. If you get the quick release version they also are easy to remove for car washes etc.

Best one is from Turner Motorsports. Even with the sensors.

They do, it’s the offset lower lip style. Which, I typically don’t like but I didn’t want to drill holes or have anything visible, as I typically run without a front plate.

Definitely, I hate the offset look also, but the bracket is hidden and uses stock bolts. It’s only there in case I get pulled over and I can say “just washed the car and forgot to re-install it” etc. I like your solution if you have to keep it installed etc. looks good!
