Hey guys, I've got a new 1 series on the way in March. When my parents bought a new car 10 years ago I remember them picking plates. Does this still happen? I know which plates I'd like but don't want to get fobbed off by the dealer when they respond with the no cant be bothered potential response.
Anyone done this?

The dealers got a bunch of plates to use depending how many new cars they're due. So if they've got 7 new cars due in then they'll have 7 plates to choose from.
When we got the Mini they had about 12 plates we could choose from, all with the same start but the last 3 letters were different and all irrelevant so we just chose a random. The plate you want will unlikely to be allocated to that dealer.

We get a list to choose from and when that list is used up we get another list, generally we allocate a reg to a car and that's that, sometimes if it's not too buy and you are in admin's good books you can ask to see the list and would they mind holding on allocating a reg whilst I check with the customer which plate they would like out of the list.
Obviously if its a busy period, such as March and there are three branches and 11 salesmen between them with 30 odd cars needing to be registered in the first few days of March, asking admin to hold on allocating plates for the other 10 sales guys cars whilst I check with my customer which one they would like isn't likely to happen and I wouldn't ask anyway.
I generally tell people that they are allocated automatically.

We were given a big choice of plates when my OH got her mini last year, but we couldn.t just pick anything
She originally picked one ending in GYZ and as we left the dealer she said to me "It couldn't mean anything bad could it" to which i replied well some people might read it as "jizz"
. We phoned the dealer and changed it after that.
