I have finally given in to temptation.
If I ever (highly unlikely) upgrade to an L 405 it will have to be a 4.4.
Not fitted on B.B. yet tax renewal due any day.

Nice.

My private plate was on the 1988 735i SE I bought in 1996, and I transferred it from car to car ever since.

Keep wondering about getting one with my initials on, but I like short plates, and they can get expensive.

Just waiting for the tax renewal form to arrive, then I will be able to re- tax on line, then I will swap it over on line, tell the insurance and fit the plates. MOT is also due early July, so before then.

They are (or might be) but I have 4 .

In my view if we have to have number plates then they may as well mean something and besides I do not wish everyone to know how old my vehicles are!!  2010 Range Rover TDV8 Baltic Blue Autobiography (2011 MY) - SOLD

Welcome to the club.

I bought my plate at a DVLA auction as an online bidder and it was very exciting. I didn’t bother with my initials or any meaning whatsoever, I just wanted a shorter plate (5 characters or less) and ideally some symmetry, which I got in the end but it cost a couple of grand including taxes. I don’t envisage selling it, but I would hope I will always be able to see it for at least what I paid for it.

When I blew my life savings and ordered my fatty it was allocated the most unattractive, unbalanced, jumbled up 69 plate you can imagine. It was at that moment I knew my extravagant bidding had all been worthwhile and the car looks fantastic with its 4 char plate in my opinion (which is all that matters!).

Plus it’s easy to remember and none of us are getting any younger.  L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

All of our cars have private plates, to disguise there age, mostly from my ex-wife. and one of them I lost in the divorce and she lost it when she sold the car on, I traced it and got it back. that really got up her hooter.

Got similar styles

M11 and M111 with the same last letters (my kids initials).
and 3 new style plates ending in MUD all with initials as the first 2 letters and 2 numbers.

Some do look tacky but each to their own. Does help to remember them as I struggle.
