Here is what I'm thinking something subtle what you guys think? I have never had a personalized plate before. Choices are first preference to last. I have to list a few options

How about D1. If your last name is Durham. Or something on those principles.

I think thats much more classy than these other plates. The ones you listed aren't subtle at all. Posting your hp number or engine size on your plate smacks of small penis syndrome in my opinion, and I'm sure that's not what you intend. If you carry a big stick you don't need to advertise it.

I know what you mean and that's part of the reason I have never liked personalized plates like "MY BMW" etc or really names initials and such and thus have never had one.

Weirdly enough what gave me the idea is all plates here are 3 letters then 3 numbers or vice versa (depending on year) and I happened to notice that my friends plate on his truck was 675 MHP. Of course this wasn't personalized just coincidence. The reason I said subtle is that 99% of people would not even realize it was a PP and it would look like a standard issue plate which is really what I am going for.

What he said...

I understand what you are trying to accomplish as I actually thought about the same thing. But in the end, the M5 should be subtle. Even when it comes to the plates. Just my .02.
