2016 M5 Front Licence plate mounting

All,

Looking for help in finding an alternative to drilling holes in the front cap. I've seen some tow hook mounts but apparently they interfere with the from sensors.
Any help would be appreciated.

I got this one for my car but I took it off because I didn't like the holes. It did take some time to get it just right it so it doesn't trip the sensors

usmillworks is definitely the best one imo. Have had them on my last 5 vehicles. They don't interfere with the sensor at all. Choose the quick release one and buy with confidence!

usmillworks FTW. I've had them installed on all of the BMWs I've ever owned. They're the best. Superior quality!

Cheers

Do they really break balls that bad in MD for front license plate? Its required in CT but never check for it. Just don't look like and act like a knob and you won't have any problems.

The Sto N Sho plate is outstanding. Really nice quality and fit. One small spring release and it's off.

I like the Sto N Sho idea. I contacted them and asked about use on a 2014 M5. They responded that they had not "fitted the 2014 M5". I would assume that if it fits the 2015 through 2018 models it would fit the 2014? Doesn't the F10 run from 2011 to 2016? Anyone using a Sto N Sho on a pre 2015 M5?

Thanks!!
