If I understand correctly, you need the license plate replacement strip, just under $10 at Bav Auto, part #51 11 1 960 857. | | | | | 05-29-2007, 05:46 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Cary, NC Posts: 117 |

correct, I just replaced my front plate piece with it:
Bumper guard 51 11 1 960 857 ($8.96 after discount from Tischer BMW)
*Pry out the center plug on the plate pc. then pry it out from the center.
*Slide the new center pc. in, insert both ends over the side guard pcs, and press into bumper lip from the center. Much cleaner front end.... | | | | | 06-20-2007, 03:08 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Alamos, NM Posts: 344 |
Ummmm, I have the M package, and I simply unscrewed the front license plate holder. There's a plastic molding that says BMW beneath it. maybe the previous owner is responsible? | | | | | 06-20-2007, 03:34 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: back in PA Posts: 204 |
