Dewhel Front Bumper Tow Hook License Plate Mount Bracket Holder Bolt On for BMW E82 E88 E90 E91 E92 E93 E70 E71 128i 135i 1M 325i 328i 330i 335i

This is an excellent solution to NOT drilling into my beautiful new BMW grille. My state still requires a front plate. This is easy to install. Tighten down or remove for the car wash. A little pricey, but it works!

Great quality, looks really nice and is pretty easy to put together. There aren't any instructions, but if you have the slightest handyman inclination, you'll be fine. A word to the wise: Use Loctite or this will eventually loosen up. This doesn't come with any lock washers on the main support bolt. Also, mine was protruding about 1.5" to far, so I took a dremel and cut the the main bolt down. Easy peasy.

Doesn't come with instructions but its easy to figure out. The mount is a bit too bulky and hits the edge of the tow hook socket on my 2003 325i, required some uncomfortable twisting which led me to thinking I was stripping the threads. Decided to just go full send and screwed it in as much as I could. Once in place it's sturdy enough, I do wish the plate holder was more sturdy on the post, but it'll hold the plate on just fine.

Sturdy and does the job. No instructions ( at all) telling you how to mount the actual frame to the shaft. The plate frame has indented cutouts, which do not lend itself well to attaching with a washer and screw. I deducted a star for that - even when very tight, its possible to turn the plate with frame with a little effort. Also, on e39 M5 ( as pictured) even the shortest shaft was too long if using the jam nut. Luckily, you can install without the jam nut and make it tight so that the shaft doesn't spin. Either way, you still a have the previously mentioned issues with the plate frame.

This is an excellent tow hook bracket mount. There are two lengths of adapter for varying bumper depths, and I used the shorter of the two on my Mini. The unit sits maybe 2 inches forward of the bumper, and the 8 mounting points allow flexibility for getting your plate in any orientation you like. It was quick and easy to install, and the only additional tool I used was an adjustable wrench to hold the lock nuts while I used the supplied allen wrench to tighten the supplied bolts through the plate. On each of the fasteners, including both sides of the adapter (the threads into the tow hook receiver and the threads from the mounting bracket into the adapter), I used some hydro-phobic bicycle grease to keep water out of the threads and prevent corrosion. The unit is secure once installed and comes out nicely with just the adjustable wrench. 10/10 would recommend.

It doesn't come with instructions I mean it's easy to install, and i dont like how far it sticks out from the bumper thought it would have been somewhat flushed but it arrive fast **UPDATED** its now October 2019 only held up for almost a year, id have to rate it 1 star from the 3 i had it at originally. it doesnt stay in place i find my plate vertical after driving hitting bumps iv taken it off moved it to different position holes for a more secure hold and that doesnt work i had to hammer the little bubble on the plate mount flush so it could be a little....secure i have it right now literally rigged with zip ties to keep it centered and not swinging all over the place

Like everyone else mentioned this does stick out kind of far, but it was super easy to install on a BMW 328i and because it sticks out somewhat far it won’t scratch the bumper and was way less expensive then other brands that are similar for installing front plates without drilling into the bumper.

Looks good. Not too long for e36. Sturdy. I like the finish. Frame mount is perfect shape. Doesn’t move around and stays in place. I would include a different type of washer to prevent the plate from spinning on the mount but mine hasn’t yet so I am not complaining.
