I had this on my E60 M5




Looking for a plate for my M3 but not found anything suitable yet at the right price.

I like private plates but not ones that are spaced illegally they are just so tacky.

I was the under bidder on "E36 EVO" for my M3 EVO... Reserve was £300 and I thought I'd go up to £2K but i went to £2500 and still couldn't nail it..... it sold for £2540 + VAT Etc...So well over £3K... Which i think was enough in the end....
That plate ended up on a techno violet saloon.

I have worked on the car and spoke to the owner about the plate. He asked the DVLA to by it and apparently they had to offer it for auction so he had to bid on the plate he asked for.

Small world.... Least he ended up with the plate that he wanted.... Funnily enough i've requested two plates over the years to be put into aution thinking no one else would really be interseted in them both low reserves and i was out bid on both....! grumpy

Mine were cheap. Mind you, the 135i hadn't been released then.
