    Default Interior mounted license plate?

    I was curious if anyone here has put the license plate in the front window over the dash...

    Any tickets?
    If not, how did you mount it?

    Curious...

    Just shove it between the vent and winshield about where the glovebox is. I live in NJ (need both plates) and I've been riding around with both a Euro plate and the plate filler for about a year w/ no problems. I don't even have the U.S. plate in the winshield anymore, it's in the glovebox. If the cop wants to be a dick, he could get you for no front plate and obstruction of view if the plate is in the windshield.

    Default Throw it in the trunk

    and forget about it.

    I been driving with the filler plate for a while, passed many speed trap, road block etc. No problemo.

    Just be cool...

    Plus the plate in the front window thing looks too "trailerpark" for a BMW, more fitting of an old beater with no front bumper.


    Vee ave vays of dealing vid your kind...........

    Don't you think that by putting your plate in the windshield...it could decapitate you or your passenger in the event of an accident?
