The plate is assigned to the car - so its yours now (assuming the V5C doc has your name and the private plate)
When you come to sell the car if you want to keep the plate then you will need to complete the paperwork then (retention or transfer to new vehicle)

Yes, or you can put it on retention at a cost of £80 which will secure it to you for 10 years

Thanks Marlon ... I looked it up and find I posted it there in February! Quite forgotten! I suppose it's a bit restricted on our Z4 website for anyone looking. There must be a national website or something - I'll see what Google comes up with ... :thumbsup:

Just remember the logbook is not proof of ownership and by definition therefore neither is the plate. That said unless you purchased the car with some condition that it was not in the sale and you have a new V5C with your details and the plate shown on it, crack on and pull the reg off the car as stated above.

You can put it on any car as you choose free of charge once the retention is paid
