Looks like it's eating the plate.

I think it's ok with a shorter plate but if it were possible it would look so much better placed Alfa style i.e. off to the left side of bumper.

I browse the internet on a daily basis and I've seen the worst of humanity on reddit. But this is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time.

The plate just looks like it doesn't belong on that grill.

Who puts a plate on the front?

Eat the ticket. Don't drill into your damned car.

Have you noticed that almost all the official BMW pictures of the front of the new 4 series (and M3/M4) show the Euro license plate on the front. Wide but not tall. it breaks up the bugs bunny grill and add some horizontal flavor to it.

Still ugly but less ugly. Still something I wouldn't and won't buy.

Wasn't a fan of this grille without the plate...even less so with that plate.

Doesn’t matter. Both front and rear plate frames are ridiculously oversized and that front plate looks like it’s mounted one row too high. I’d be embarrassed to be a sales associate there.

I'd be embarrassed too if I had to try and sell those.

Ignoring the front plate, I think this looks better than I’ve mainly seen it, with the full black grill. I don’t hate it.

Same story with all new BMWs. Takes time to grow on you. I didn't like the current G generation models--at least not more than the F gen--but I love them now. I think this one (and the new M3) will take more time to get used to, though... The plastic on the rear is terrible, too. Please don't order/buy any spec'd like that.
