Mineral White, M-Sport F15 Owner From NJ

What's up guys I usually don't post in forums so I figure I show my pride and joy its a xdrive35i Mineral White Metallic (Favorite BMW Color).

Had it at the bodyshop for some small touches like gloss black wheels, gloss black exhaust tips, gloss black trim around bmw emblem, white front & rear deflectors, front plate delete and full debadge.

I am in the market for wheel spacers but can't seem to find any information or reputable company that offers them? Does any one have any knowledge on this?

Good looking X5 - I live in NJ -Shore area - So you think you will get away in NJ without a front plate - I'm afraid to try that

I do go through GWB and Trogs Neck Bridge maybe 2 times a month.. to visit the wife's family.. in the past 2 years.. but prior to that I drove through this route every weekend to visit my wife ( girlfriend at the time ).

Also I forgot to mention I own a Farmers Insurance Agency in North Bergen NJ so you guys know who to contact when you will like to save some money on insurance in NJ.

Same thing happened to me going into the Holland tunnel when I had my F10. I was a week away from turning the car in so i didn't bother to put on my front plate after removing my vinyl wrap. Once i passed the cop at the entrance he followed me in and had a light shining into my car the whole time in the tunnel. I was thinking great....i'm late and now i'm going to get pulled over for a BS ticket. I think he saw that i had my wife and kid in the back seat so he let me go without pulling me over.

This only applies to tunnels? I never drive in the city.. too many crazy cabbies trying to hit you and I don't want to look for parking or pay $20+ for parking...
Ultimately, if it came down to it and I do finally add front plates I will most likely go with the http://www.usmillworks.com/ route.

You just doomed yourself my friend.

LEOs are starting to hand out more tickets for this, but still fairly rare. It's the meter enforcers downtown that get you these days here in Portland. Guaranteed, so I no longer run without a front plate.

+1 all these local towns are starved for tax dollars and will use any available method to generate income
