More interesting private reg plates

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.

New shape Jaguar round the corner with a bloke who seems to permanently have little kids all over the car has L4DAD

 

I have NIPEL on my Volvo and it's amazing how many blokes struggle to see if some busty bimbo is at the wheel, only to look well aggrieved to find scruffy old me :) I have had interest from some of the more sexually explicit rags wanting to buy it as a compeTITion prize, (yes, they even got as far as the headline....;) but my insistence on personally vetting all entrants has always stopped a deal being brokered for some reason

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.
