Z3 Rear End Pic Request without Plate Surround

Does anyone have a picture of an M Coupe with the license plate mount and lights removed?

I know there is a hole there, but I don't remember where it is.

Ron posted a picture one time of his car when he had the rear cleaned up.

I was just curious, as I can't find anything after a heavy search.

That is actually missing everything except the license plate surround and lights.

There is a hole in the hatch for the wires that go to the license plate lights. I am trying to determine where the hole is.

I'm betting the left side, under the light.



You could confirm by pulling the inner hatch covering. It's 2 or 4 screws, I think, and a bit of effort to pull the cover. Pretty simple.

Personally, I would guess that there is a hole in the hatch under each light. I don't see there being enough room within that license plate assembly to route additional wires from one side to the other.

No, there is just one hole. I thought it was on the right side, but apparently its on the left. In the photo you can see the bondo. On the right side is where the trunk lift normally is.
