Plate size/style recommendations for the M340i

Haruman · 10-18-2023, 03:58 AM

Hey everyone!

I'm waiting for my new M340i to arrive later this year. The colour is Tanzanite Blue (darkish blue) with the dark grills (M Pro Package).

Can I have some recommendations on what plate sizes/styles would fit best for this vehicle colour and model?

I do want to get the smallest size as larger the plater, it makes the vehicle look a bit off.

Would the Euro Slim (372x84 front and 520x110) fit the 3-series okay? I'm just worried that if the back plate is too slim, the proportion might look a bit off. Or is the standard Slim (372x84 front and 372x107) a better option?

I have white full-sized Euro front and back on my Portimao blue car. I had them on another car previously, and if I was buying them again just for the 3-er I'd have gone with the smaller front plate. I like the full-sized plate on the rear, it fits the space better (as you'd expect because that's what's compulsory in Germany). One of these days I might arrange a smaller front plate, but it's a pain in the butt to deal with the licensing authority and it's been years already ...

I have the Slim Front (372x84) and Slim Back (372x107) on mine and I think it looks great or at least as good as number plates can look. I have some Kingpin covers on mine which makes them slightly bigger I guess but I've never felt that a bigger plate would look better on the rear. I haven't seen the wider euro plate on the rear in person though.

I just went with black on white for mine on a mineral grey car. I don't want colours that draw attention to them but trying to hide them with darker background colours looks wierd to me and I think it's a good balance. Some of the premium plates in the same size with silver would probably look nice with the blue as well for not a lot extra.
