Hey guys, I'm looking to get a Rho-plate. I've got a 06 e90 325xi with a lci front m-sport conversion. Just wanted to know if I still get the regular one or the one meant for the m-sport bumper. Thanks.

I had to google what this was. I actually purchased one of these kits and hate it.

I will post pics tomorrow of why I hate it (too dark now) but it sticks out from my car grossly far. Took it to the car wash and it ripped the damn thing off.


I'm going to be talking to my CNC guy to see if he can make me a better design.


EDIT: Ohh forgot to mention, I had the OEM bumper and now have the M3 front bumper and they both look like crap

Got any recommendations? I'm tired of getting pulled over for the plate. MD sucks.

My guess is the one for LCI as it probably meant for the bumper sitting further away from the tow hook.

I'm sorry for not getting back to you. I might just go outside and take a few pics for you just so you see what I mean. OHH!!! Another thing that makes me mad is the threaded screw that goes into the big piece of metal (that goes into the tow hook) and connects the plate, plate, is veeeery thin. I almost wish it was 4X if not more of the thickness size.

Again, sorry for the delay.

I thought I had a pic of my OEM E90 pre lci but I dont, this is the Replica M3, but both were around the same distance



I guess if you could somehow cut 3/4" off the thread, it would look better.

Ohh ya be sure to use Blue or red thread lock on the thread to the tow hook (I used red because if I have to use my tow hook, I prolly have bigger issues then worrying about me taking it off at the side of the road.)

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info and the pic. It is quite far out......Maybe I'll research some other options. Hopefully MD decided to get off their ass, when the gov opens again, to not require MD to have front plates.
