marc_p Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 A couple of my neighbours wave cool ones(there both on Audi's), the SPY 1 and C16. I do like my EVL plate though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The "i" would be a little add on to an otherwise legal plate as that arrangement is not permissible. Whhhhhhhhhhy pay out for a plate like that as it's limited to that car only! Hrmm! Absolutely: the lower case i wasn't just a cleverly-placed screw, it had the same italicised BMW typeface. It make me wonder if the plate was legit at all: it may have had a bog-standard numberplate but BMW-man maybe decided he wanted a private plate without all the inconvenience and format constraints of getting it done properly. After all, legal registrations are for the Little People. But... I already know it's a BMW 535i: it says so on the tailgate/boot lid in shiny chromed characters.

AndrewOW Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I like the clever ones, but when a screw or something obscure is used to make it supposedly 'look' like something else, then it just looks daft IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 It'll be Irish and read BMW 5351 probably wasn't even that expensive Nope - 'BMW' has never been a combination used on a N.Ireland plate. In the past, they all used to have 3 letters - one of which was an 'I', followed by up to 4 numbers. More recently the 'I' has been changed to a 'Z'. There did used to be a similar BMW number going around Norwich a few years back. It had an italcised font and the lower case 'i' should actually have been an 'L', but the owner had changed it beyond recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
