I have seen lots of people on here with private reg plates on their cars, i have not long ago fitted one to my own car. So my question is, how many people have a personalised plate on their Z4?

Never seen the point personally :exitright:

You'd see the point if you had my number plate..... :oops:

I your case I can - settled on one yet ?

I'll settle on one after I pay my insurance next month... would like to pay the whole year in one go but it may have to be paid monthly, in which case a new number plate will come sooner, probably something like X## PTR.

Think its because i like cars to look clean and simple no badges or dealer stickers nothing stuck in the windscreen apart from tax disc but would prefer nothing so with the plate its less letters sounds mad i know but thats me :D thats why i love some of the US hot rods ive seen on TV a real clean look.
 
I have one, I've had the plate 18 years and its moved from one car to the next but it is at HOME on my Zed.... just looks like its meant to be there.. some people hate personal number plates others love them...
 
I'm thinking of doing it. So far, I haven't come up with anything charming or witty, though.....
 
I've got one. I always buy a plate for the car/make of car not for myself. Had an S2K plate on my S2000 which looked good, MG plate on my MG and I've an 'M' plate on the beast.. :oops:

I think there is nothing worse that a plate that has letters moved/squashed/altered in some way to contrive a spelling...looks naff usually.

Yes, but here you are limited in what you can put on. I've checked the combos for Z4 and Z4, ZZZZ, Z4ME, MYZ4 are all not available (not sure if they're taken or they don't meet criteria). I'm limited to 8 letters/numbers total.
 
Pretty even so far. I thought that might be the case. Mine was a 30th Birthday present, it means alot to me for that reason.

Z wasn't used in the older style plates for some reason, maybe because it could be confused with a 2. The newer plates can only have in the last three letters. I've considered getting something along the lines of **04 ZED or **04 ZZZ but it would always be tied to the car and the ZZZ looks like you're sleepy :roll:
 
Just had a quick look on DVLA site...here's a very topical one! -X 007 ZED- yours for £999 all in :)
 
A friend of mine who's dabbled with plates for years talked me into buying mine, we went to a couple of the DVLA auctions to buy it, quite eye opening places to go.
Correctly chosen they can make a very good investment.
 
Had mine for 13 years now. At least I can remember it :D

After 12 years, I finally had a car that matched the "M" on my plate as well.
