Are you required to use the front license plate in NY? In PA we are not.

Been going without a front plate, and so far no issues. Knocking on wood as I type this.

Looks like they are working on getting off the front plates from Luxury cars in Texas from Sept 1, 2019, if the bill is passed.

Edit 6/19/2019:
Good news for anyone with an X7 Luxury Body Style that does not want to drill the bumper for a front tag. The SlyBracket is now compatible with the X7 Luxury Body Style that has the active shutter system directly behind the grille. I've been working with Ernest at SlyBracket and he sent me the un-assembled parts so I could cut the loops so they don't hit the active shutter system behind the grille. I then provided the measurements of the loops back to SlyBracket. The spring loaded loop bracket works great and now does not hit the active shutter system or trigger the sonar system. I left my original post below. https://www.slybrackets.com/ Original Post: FYI. The slybracket is a great piece of engineering. However, it is not compatible with the 2019 X7 Luxury body style since it blocks the louvers behind the grille (given its current length) and will trip the Check Engine Light when the louvers close at highway speed. The spring driven U-bolts come permanently attached (set screws are glued in) and cannot be shortened. Tripping the Check Engine Light required "reprogramming" at BMW service for me. I'll add that Ernest at SlyBracket is great and I've been working with him with some measurements to see if there is an opportunity to create a bracket that does not block the louvers for the X7 Luxury body style. The what and why of active shutters or louvers here: https://www.greencarreports.com/news...lp-improve-mpg Last edited by x7-AR; 06-19-2019 at 06:30 PM.. |

Almost 1k Miles here in NY and no issues yet on the front plate. Fingers crossed, knocking on wood etc. I admit I do get a little nervous every time we approach a cop, but nobody has even looked twice at this point.

This Friday, I picked up my Black Sapphire M Sport beauty and the Jersey dealer asked me if I want him to hole my bumper, and I told him 'No". I now wonder how long time I can play the game?

Over a year without a front plate here in NY. Never pulled over. Once got a ticket from a local cop while parked in a municipal parking lot. Young new meter maid local cop. Oh well. I’ll pay that fine once a year.
