I bought a set of ten, six for front and four for rear... Works a treat and un-noticed as they're white lol

Yeah as they before on previous posts, it is 100% illegal to change, adapt or modify your plates in anyway. The letters/numbers spaces are layed out in a set way as well as the yellow black writing. Your plate will get pinged on any automatic VRN data base or mobile unit and a fine may be issued. This then may lead to your vehicle getting searched, checked etc... Trust me as i am as Andy so put it 'a PIG'

BUT... By Law, you can only get physical plates by producing a "Log Book" to the maker... Another loophole is ebay :lol:

oops.jpg...

Im sure he ment no offence

My point though, I cant see the harm in having an extra space, as many plate have a logo on the left anyway, eg a flag or eu sign.

I'd do without that sign, move my letter to the left and put the extra space in the middle of my plate, it still reads the same when read and isnt missleading and doesnt try and spell something else, and im not putting a screw by any letter to make it look like a different letter..

Cant see what im doing wrong..

Decided not to change colour, im keeping uk standard size..

Hello... Officer Dabsy (PC1967)...

Yes, you will be offered the opportunity to remove the offending plates. However, you will be entered into the notebook for future reference.

It would be cheaper for Britain if the police updated their ANPR to recognise FONTS eh?

Just a thought B)

Maybe the above idea could be a precedent in court... Hmmmmm :blink:

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
