I installed this same sto option and am real happy. I went with the higher mount to no air flow was ever blocked. I added rubber weatherstipping to the backside just in case.
I love being able to remove it so quickly. I removed the supplied ring on the pull just because I did not like the glimmer of it and wanted to reduce the chance of it rattling. Thanks OP for posting and pay no attention to the naysayers, welcome aboard and keep posting! Nice M3 BTW. |

I went with this mount as well, and will only use it for long drives out of state, where I've been with groups of others pulled over. I don't think it blocks that much more air than the stock mounting location, and certainly not enough to make a difference on the street, for my usage.
My front plate is in the binnacle in my boot, and I haven't had the need to show it, other than doing the drill-less mounting procedure. |

I ordered the Skene about a week ago and then saw this on a different thread and decided this was the way to go since it can be easily removed. My only concern was that it may flex at higher speeds and rub so I crafted together some stand-offs with soft rubber tips to have the top screw points brace against the bumper. I have clearbra so I am not too concerned with the rubber scuffing since it is easy to polish off.
I did not realize they included 3M tape to mount so I also ordered 3M VHB automotive tape which I used instead of the tape supplied. That thing is rock solid without any drilling. It is perfect now. Great product!!

I would add either aluminum or stainless steel extensions for stability if I were to mount it however. Would not be a hard mod. Or even better, just get a euro adapter (goggle it, many options) which requires no modification to the plate at all and would mount easily to the sto-n-sho plate. https://www.customeuropeanplates.com/frames-c-2.html Last edited by LOP; 03-08-2016 at 08:08 AM.. |

Sto n Sho removable license plate mount
I just installed this on my '15 M4. I've been plateless for 2 1/2 years with no tickets, except the city of Portland has slapped me with an $85 ticket while parked! This solution is great because you can easily display the plate while parked then remove it. I had purchased a US Millworks tow hook holder when I got the car, but never installed it. This is much less expensive, looks better and easier to remove and reinstall. I found it $10 less expensive on eBay than directly from Big Mike's Performance Parts.
I used the high mount version (SNS 67). Installation was super simple; does require one small (1/8") hole at the top of the lower intake (unless you have great confidence in 3M automotive tape) that you will never see from normal angles if the unit is removed. Only thing I was not thrilled with is the backing plate does not support the full license plate, so I cut a piece of 1.5 mm carbon fiber sheet to back it up and pop riveted the whole thing together with a frame; very rigid.

Thank you for solidifying my decision. I just would like to have the plate installed for whenever I park downtown.

The black mount is pretty subtle - can't see it from high angle and blends with grille behind from straight on.

Don't have any pics with plate mounted but will take some when weather clears a bit. For now here's mine with the mount block. Not too noticeable.

Here's a pic of the front of my car with the mount in front of the grille. Barely noticeable. You really have to get low to see it since it's in the recess.

So did you put yours on using just double stick tape under the bumper?
Will this work just as well on cars with the Competition pack, under the bumper that is? EDIT: For anyone looking for the Under bumper mount version, it is the 67a (67 is the stock location): http://bigmikesperformanceparts.com/...option-sns67a/ . Last edited by Lotus99; 06-26-2018 at 02:00 AM.. |

Also, I didn't bother using the supplied screw. The 3M tape is super strong and it's not going anywhere at all. Been through lots of heavy rains in Southern California recently. That plate mount is like a permanent fixture. I haven't heard of anybody having the plate mount fall off when they used only the tape. |
