With four authentic European styles to choose from, there is no better way to make your vehicle stand out from the rest than with a Euro-plate. These license plates are made to exact government regulations in size, material, color and relective finish. These license plates are all metal with embosed letters and appropriate markings. Each plate comes with a standard black mounting bracket, which works perfectly with an OEM euro-plate holder. (Available in body-colors from Bimmian or through your local dealer for unpainted trimmed vehicles) Upon ordering, your order is instantly sent to our German manufacturing facility, where your license plate is custom made to your exact specification of origin, color, and lettering and then sent directly to you. In normal circumstances you should receive your plate within 2-3 weeks from the time of ordering. All plates are shipped with a black plate frame holder with your order. This holder is sutible for mounting on almost any bumper, although we recommend that front bumper mounting be done onto an OEM euro-plate holder. This will prevent you from having to drill into your bumper and looks cleaner when installed. Instead of the standard black plate frame, you can upgrade your frame to a chromed version or to a black frame with the markings of an authentic German BMW dealership. Euro-plate holders are available for most vehicles. Bimmian offers several pre painted euro-plate holders for vehicles with factory painted North American plate holders. www.bimmian.com/EPH. Please note that european E46 sedans, E36, E38, E39, E60, and E63 models do not come with painted holders from the factory. They either use brackets (E60, E63) or use a black holder to match the bumper trim (others). These black plate holders / brackets can be inexpensively ordered from your local dealer.
