I have a 97 328i and a friend of mine just gave me his euro license plate. I purchased a bracket and it's on the way but I've run into one problem... How does this all fit onto the front of the car?

You pull off the cover that conceals the tow hook. If you are looking at the lisence plate from the front, it's to the left. You just pull that off (it snaps on and off, and is held on by a string so it doesn't fall off completely), and then pull the plate mount off, starting at the left. Then you just pop the new one in, and make sure it snaps in each spot.

Thanks, the mount for the euro plate looked a bit weird so I wasn't sure. I did notice that when I took my reg. plate mount off and put the euro plate up to the empty spot that even with the mount when it gets here that there will be some empty spots where the trim was. Is there a way to keep the trim there?

I've never seen a euro plate mount, so I can't help you much more. I just learned what I did from switching out the plate delete for my front plate... Damn front license plates...

Ive seen a few bimmers around my city with the euro plates on the front. It looks so cool, I don't know what it is about them.

They look much better when mounted on the European plate holder, not the US one.

Dang Panzer M...you need to either clean your headlights(Meguiars Plastic Cleaner) or get them replaced. Its giving your car a bad look. Just a suggestion.

That car is dead, shell is sitting in the garage as a bent and twisted hulk.

My Club Sport has ZKWs..so I am good.
