Keep old plates even if you sell the car?

Part of getting the M5, would need to sell my E90. I can do a trade-in and keep the plates, but I think I can do better in selling the car on my own and still come out on top even after losing the tax benefit on trade-in. Only snag is I can't figure out if I can keep my plates after selling the current car - really like them. I have been told it's possible. Both cars are / will be registered in NJ. Any input on how to do this will be appreciated. Thanks

Yeap I saw that. But it doesn't say how long can I keep plates for. I was thinking of selling a week or so before I do financing for the car - right before ED. But won't get the possession of the m5 til 8-12 weeks later (sign papers 1 week before ED, 1 week in Europe, 8-10 weeks transit time for car to come to US. ). If anyone had experience selling their car independent of the dealer and taking ED, please let me know. Really want to keep my lucky plates! Worst case I will do a trade in but want to avoid that as much as I can.

you can keep them until the expiry date. Maybe even longer than that.
