51 11 158 Replacing base plate for number/license plate

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2018 BMW M6, 2018 BMW 650i xDrive, 2018 BMW 650i, 2018 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2018 BMW 640i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Only use the vehicle-specific license plate baseplate.

The installation of other license plate baseplates is not permissible.

If a number plate baseplate is not offered for the corresponding national-market version, the number plate must be mounted directly on the bumper using a drilling template.
