Oh Man you are a brave Soul popping that loaded question on here. Part of me likes it,..part of me doesnt,...
Hope you didnt de-badge the car only to Re-badge it w/ the plate.:biggrin:

I'm not a fan of personalized plates but "135I" isn't so bad... don't think you're a tool but I think you wasted your money when the back of the car already says 135i.

If it makes you happy...

You like what you like, and it shouldn't matter to you what we think.

IMHO, I think its a bit redundant.

Very redundant, but you are not a tool. Now, you would be a tool IF you debaged your 135i and then went and got plates that said 135i. Hell I wouldnt put it past some people though

I wouldn't have done it. To obvious to me. It's like getting a "Camaro" or "Corvette" windshield banner on the front.

I wouldnt say your a tool. Just really excited about the car. Wear that plate with pride!
Do what you want. There will always be people that talk shit no matter what. Your the one looking at the car 10x a day so your opinion is what matters most.
Im thinking about getting a personalized plate. No clue what to put on it though. Good choice!

Maybe you are being a tool by asking the question of whether or not you are a tool.

Had you just posted your new personalized plate, I don't think anyone would have thought of you as a tool. But when you ASK people if they think you are a tool, someone will always answer "YES".

I personally don't like it when people put the make and/or model of their car on their plate. I'd rather come up with something clever like FSTRDNU or ETMYDST. (probably both taken) But to each his own, no reason to think you're a tool.
