Okay, I just put these on minutes ago. Of course it's dark out, and I needed to use a flash. So forgive the pic quality...

Hence the quotes.

I did install the E36 M3 LTW X-brace on Saturday. Huge improvement in chassis rigidity and turn-in response.

But you guys are all E46ers and couldn't care less.

'Course not. All of us E46ers already HAVE the xbrace installed.

What's with Matt D. giving us "props" on .org?

That's pretty sharp. It's ashame PA doesn't have good plates like that.

The DelValCCA is petitioning for CCA plates. I think to qualify, they needed 300 (?) interested people.

I'm undecided if I'd switch. Anything looks better than the PA reflector www plates, but updating insurance, registration, inspection stickers, BMW FS etc. for a lousy plate that I'd have to pay for is not very appealing to me.

The petition has been going on for VA as well. 350 sigs are required. They've been running ads in the local chapter CCA rag for a few months. Hopefully, they're close to the numbers needed.

Not sure if I'd opt for the plates either. But it certainly didn't cost me anything to sign the petition!

Hold on... At least in MD, you fill out a form, they send you the plates and a revised registration card and you return your old plates to the DMV ASAP. That's all. My insurance (and in the past when I've had car loans) only cares about my VIN. Why would they care about your plate #? And we don't have inspection stickers (thank god), but why would THAT change?

For me, this was $20 and a form I had to fill out and mail. Oh yeah, and 5 minutes with a screwdriver swapping the plates.

Not exactly a hassle IMO.

The plate information is printed on my insurance, inspection and emissions stickers. If it's just a matter of carrying an amendment card showing that ABC-1234 is the same as BMW-0001, then it isn't that bad, but it was my understanding that all your paperwork changes. It changed when my other car's plates went from the old yellow on blue PA plates to the new PA reflector plates, and insurance had to get the new info, etc.

Of course I haven't researched this in detail. I did put in my vote for a CCA plate though.
