I've been driving my current 330i with tinted windows for the past 3 years without any tickets or issues. But now for my incoming M340i on order I'm thinking of going without the front license plate as well. For the record, my 330 has 35% tint all around with beige interior. The M340 will have Tacora Red interior and I will most likely go with 35% all around and 70% on windshield. Also, my drive is pretty much 50/50 mix between local streets and the freeways.

I see most of the people based in SoCal post pictures of their cars without the front plate. And most have tinted windows too. Is anyone getting tickets or not at all?
I have not installed a front plate on any of my vehicles for the last 10 years, other than my “boring” daily drivers I’ve had in the past, ie VW Jetta. However, with my 330i and M340i I have yet to be pulled over once for front plate or tint on all windows. I have clear heat rejection on front windshield and wouldn’t risk having a tinted front windshield. I think that would be definitely asking for trouble.
