How about when you go through a drive though carwash, any issue with the machine washing your car with that front license plate? Also the rubber bumpers in the back corners of the license plate does that come with the kit? If not where did you get those from?
Thanks for your video. I just got my M550 today, and bought one with acc. Do you think the plate and rack are too heavy for the grille? Looks like they are plastic?
The European plates don’t come with holes on them. You can get a bracket to slide them in or just use the 3m tape. The US brackets have the holes for the plate.
You can drill your own holes if you want but the 3M is really good. I have been on the autobahn cruising at 200kmh and done a few 266kmh pulls and plate hasn’t bent and the 3M hasn’t lost its strength.
FUCKING AWESOME! Been looking for something like this for my M2C as I’ve just 3m my plate to my front bumper but being a curved bumper and flat plate it annoys me! This will be perfect. What are the dimensions of the rest of the world mount? which is what I assumed you have used
It’s a carbonio mount. Don’t have the dimensions but their website might. I has held on great and has handled autobahn speeds with 0 issues. Also temps haven’t really been affected at all. Taken it to the Nurburgring and everything ran just fine.
Don't buy this product if you ever plan on using a car wash- mine was damaged the very 1st time-Warranty does not cover. So they refused my request for a refund.
Just my two sense… this is a self inflicted issue. 1 if you care about the car you should be handwashing or using a touch less car wash. 2 any time a wash is being done it should be removed. Common sense and not Carbonio’s fault.
Perfect!! This is what I’ve been looking for! Just ordered my M2C 🙌🏼
@mark glad it helped!!!
Is there anyway to have the plate higher?
Yes I ended up flipping the bracket later on for it to sit higher on the bumper cover.
Nice!! Will keep in mind after getting my Performance bumper for my 135i.
Have had it on through the winter and definitely no rust and has survived a few 160MPH pulls and cruising at 120mph
Looks good, thanks for the diy! I just picked one up as well 🤘
No problem brother! Glad you can get some use from it!

I don’t take my cars through automatic car washes. But it held on on the autobahn at 130mph cruising. As for the bumpers. Yes they come with the kit.
No issues with your parking sensors? That's my only concern for this kit. Also, do you think it's obstructing airflow to the intercooler/radiator?
0 issues with the sensors and have had the car at the track with 0 overheating issues. The mount has lasted a brutal German winter also!

Had the mount on the car for 2 years and never had any issues. Daily driving, track, and autobahn and worked great
This will be my first MOD 😎
Works marvelously just make sure you use some anti-cease so the thumbscrew doesn’t get stuck
@@HMDriven Will do Bro
Hey I just got to Spangdahlem? Where you stationed my Golf Gti is almost here.
I’m out in the Grafenwöhr area
First comment \/ those others aren’t real comments (trust me)
Thats my son lol he did get the first comment
good idea but why use double sided tape? Why didn't they just put holes on the bracket that attaches to the plate?
The European plates don’t come with holes on them. You can get a bracket to slide them in or just use the 3m tape. The US brackets have the holes for the plate.
@@HMDrivenoh phew, I thought I might be relying on tape holding my plate on.
is there a way to screw the plate into the holder or are is it only mounted with the 3m tape?

I have the carbonio bracket on my X3M and it had holes for my License plate (Ontario, Canada)
my thoughts exactly

I thought u got a competition
That is a competition!
I actually hate the face of new Bimmers more than front license plates.
🤣 @moose the new rabbit teeth front bumpers are hideous! And the person that decided front plates are a must needs to be slapped!
Said it twice 😆
What the heck? this is for a European plate!!
Yes and they Also offer one for the US Market. Check them out. I don’t get commission or anything just good product carbonio.com
