Ok soo I know this is not a hot button topic but might be somewhat fun to talk about and see what you guys come up with.

I stumbled upon this site http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/...FUHc4Aoden7XmQ

Its for custom ordering any euro plate for your car and my question to everyone Is what would you put on your euro plate? I've been thinking about adding this to the front of my zhp and just can't come up with something good to write on It, I even googled "license plate ideas" heres the link http://www.coolpl8z.com/staff-picked...nse-plates.php

So these are some of the ideas I thought up for my car.

1. E46 ZHP
2. E46 4DRM
3. 4DR M330
4. BMWOW
5.GOT SWAG
6 E46 JS85 (stands for John Scholtz and year I was born)

Im just having trouble deciding on something unique for my car so maybe someone can think up something different then what I already came up with.

I wish I could put one on my car, but stupid Maryland has its stupid rules about stupid license plates being on the stupid front of the car.

You could do something german with german accent marks. I've seen an M3 with Dü Häst on it. Looked pretty cool. But my all time favorite tag belongs to this guy I saw at bimmerfest east.

I'm in the market for another Euro plate as my current one endorses a forum that is about to close.
Some of my thoughts
ITS HERS
I LUV E46
OFFSET
WNTS M5
2ND MRTGGE

For you OP, I like your 4DR M330

I think you gotta go with "ITS HERS"

My dealer has had euro plates hanging in the parts dept for sale that say "ROLL TIDE". I think I'll be getting one in honor of our 14th National Title.

Yeah... but you are in one of the very few states with a BMW CCA plate (FTMFW!)

Brett has one, if he finds this thread maybe he can post a pic of his

IIRC Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and Oklahoma have them too but I could be wrong

Sorry to threadjack. But all the good ones were taken. My other option was ZedHP. But I don't want people to think my name is Zed and I like horsepower.


That's gold Jerry! Gold!

There is a kid over on Bimmerfest who used to go by the handle Trick Tizzle (think it's ThreeTwoFive now) and he lives in MN. I bet this is his plate.

Does Virginia really have one? I'll have to search. I don't think I've ever seen it.

after more research... apparently they did not get enough pre-orders to complete. They need 350. The Maryland Plates are National Capital Chapter plates, it's covered up by the M3 plate frame on the pic I posted. Here is the post in their chapter forum

Yeah, too bad they couldn't get it done. We even have a special plate for the James River Parks in Richmond. You'd think they could get 350 people statewide to commit. Oh well.

PS I had a good time flipping through that site with euro plate examples. My favorite WTF one is definitely "CUMSLUT". I kid you not. Someone let me know if there's another meaning to that term, otherwise I have no idea why you'd want that on your car...

Yep, NCC BMWCCA Plates here in MD. No choice as to numbers, though it would have been fun to have tage #330:

E46 ZHP, which looks better with the wheels on :) :
3079


And for the E36 Hamster:
3078

I dunno if you already got the Europlate or not, OP, but why don't you just get one that's been already used in Europe as a real plate? Then get another to put behind your rear license plate. Then it looks like you imported your car, haha.

Nah, what you do then is get the Zoll plate so it looks like you took Euro Delivery

I run a real plate that belongs to the german side of my family. From munich in the late 80s/early 90s. Figure it made it a little more meaningful than some fun phrase and fitting given that the ol zhp came from munich :)

But, if you don't have family over there I'd get something a little tongue in cheek/inside joke for the BMW crowd, or random. Something like "eurotarded" is a little, well......
