Front License Plate Bracket Options

Are there any options that don't require drilling holes in the bumper or the tow hook bracket option? Like something that would attach to the lower grill? Thanks in advance.

You could always do a Sto N Sho that mounts under the front of your bumper. It’s a universal mount though

There are several. There’s a whole thread discussing them.

Or just roll without one. Front plates are required in my state and I never have a plate on the front or my bumper drilled.

Instead of drilling. How about using some 3m tape instead. I have yet to do it, but I got the idea from another member. My lazy ass might do it this weekend. The only plus here in Texas is that you can get a black plate. Actually it does not look bad at all on a black car.

I just installed the Skybrackets kit. It looks good. I just hope it doesn’t break the plastic lower grid.

Tow hook bracket is probably the easiest. Or you could go with the Skybracket which hooks into the low plastic grid.

Sly bracket fits on lower grill. Mine has been on for 3 years, no issues. I do not have ACC and it fits without interference.

Sly bracket works great. I have all the sensors and it doesn’t block anything. I had a tow hook mount and it would sometimes cause the parking sensors to go off unexpectedly

I use the StoNSho on my 2023 330e and love it. It installed easily on my car by unscrewing 2 screws and replacing them with the bracket mount. Now the plate goes on and off in a second or two. I usually run with it off unless I’m worried there’s a chance of a ticket.

I need better pics but a couple from front and side view.

I like this one, because it mounts under the front edge of the bumper and the height of the plate can be adjusted up and down.

Does this get bent backwards any? As to not rub up against the bumper causing scratches.

It's one of the best solutions but they should not call it no drill solution since you have to drill the underside.

Slybrackets no drill works great, particularly if you have no ACC, as you can mount it right in the center of the lower grill without drilling, it uses lock washers to grip the plastic grill.

The No front license plate bracket is the best one.

I had to look at that really hard - I was about to respond saying you were 5 days late for April Fools!

You'd be pulled over in a heartbeat here in Australia if you had a front plate like that. They're compulsory in every state here - otherwise they'd never get the revenue from the speed cameras.
