Vanity Plate Ideas - Need your help!

Hi all,
I have an Alpine White M340 (2020 that makes lots of pops and bangs ) and I am overdue on my registration by a couple weeks, purely because I cant think of a vanity plate. (Yes, I would try that excuse if I got pulled over.....)

Any ideas? Could be funny, true to BMW brand, etc. I am in Colorado, they have a slight sense of humor but seem more strict these days than 3 years ago when I had a plate that said OHIOFCR (oh, hi officer!).

I thought of MWHEE40, like whee when you floor it....

Comments greatly appreciated. Thanks!

9/10 times I see a car with vanity plates I cringe, and Im talking all kind of cars. I get the idea of making it "YOUR OWN" as much as the next enthusiast of course. But I would not do it...

Tough crowd. I enjoy seeing a fun vanity plate. The arrogant ones are what I dislike.

One of the highest paid Physician specialties next to Plastic Surgery and Radiology. Especially now with COVID I'm sure he's cleaning up intubating people.

And the one with the highest suicide rate.

Money doesn't equal happy.

And vanity plates are tacky.

Mid 30s here.

Look at my current garage. I don't fuck around with my cars.

Vanity plates are for amateurs.

I also like fun vanity plates, because they are so rare.

I actually thought most people were here super polite and lighthearted in replies about something like a vanity plate.

You didnt forget. You just got a bit unhappy and butthurt that you heard something you didnt like and now chose to mock people who replied to your question. That's just uncool. Plenty of young people thing vanity plates are lame (or not). The point is it shouldnt matter to you, but it does, and it usually does to people who want vanity plates, and thats why people cringe.

I actually like vanity plates that mean something to me personally (a nickname, initials, etc) But I do agree that vanity plates attempting to be humorous or to get a response from others are tacky. Mine is simple, just my first initial and year of birth, but unless you know me personally, you wouldn't know what it meant.

So you'd like a personalized vanity plate, but you're asking strangers on the internet what YOUR plate should say?
IMO cars with vanity plates should be nuked from space

It's like those idiots who buy an M car just to turn it into an IG page, and they only amass like 1000 followers. That MLIFE plate and the car really paid off.
