New E91

pete9903 · 03-19-2017, 11:10 PM

Wagon lovers and all vanity plate lovers--

Which plate would you put on your shiny new 6MT wagon?

I won't necessarily go with the community favorite, but curious to see the public reaction. Thanks!

wallacelau · 03-19-2017, 11:26 PM

i would say either 3pdl e91 or 6mt e91. i personally just like the chassis code lol

6ixSpd · 03-19-2017, 11:39 PM

Out of those, I like the first one. More people would actually get it instead of BMW geeks only.

E902009 · 03-20-2017, 12:17 AM

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the retro yellow on black plates. It looks poser-esque when it's on a non-classic car. As for the text, "3PDL WGN" is pretty good.

BSM n54iS · 03-20-2017, 12:47 AM

3pdl wgn is my vote. But you should always go with 'SWGN WGN' if available

ctuna · 03-20-2017, 02:45 AM

I like 6mt but only somebody that on one of these
board will get it.

By the way what does PDL stand for I can imagine some things
but I doubt its whats intended.

6spd wgn I think some people would understand that.

YasF80_SLO · 03-20-2017, 01:26 PM

My vote is for 6mt e91 its enthusiasts who read plates and will relate to it, that conveys to enthusiasts better then 3pdl wgm imo.

Enthusiasts on this board, specificallly: 6mt e91.

Enthusiasts everywhere: 3pdl wgn

WilliamHart · 03-20-2017, 02:55 PM

My vote would be 6mt e91. I am not a fan of the black retro CA plates. Everyone here has them, and usually on the wrong cars..
I have HART WGN on our e91 in the cheap CA plates.

Rsoxs19 · 03-20-2017, 02:57 PM

6mt e91
I have 335i N54 but I doubt anyone knows what that is lol. Oh well.

sirdaft1 · 03-20-2017, 05:39 PM

3PDL E91 gets my vote due to being so under the radar. But that's because personally I'm not a fan of vanity plates on a DD FWIW. This one will make even an enthusiast do a double take and question whether it was intentional or not and for the lay person, it might as well be a generic plate. If you're wanting something more obvious, I'd recommend one of the other two.

Zajac1 · 03-20-2017, 06:40 PM

6mt e91

cdgatti · 03-20-2017, 07:36 PM

3pdl e91

I like the double play off your name, well done.

pete9903 · 03-21-2017, 12:46 AM

Gents,

Thank you much, all good feedback to ponder.

I should have mentioned that the car is space gray. I'm leaning toward the retro plate mainly because it doesn't stand out nearly as much as a white rectangle on an otherwise fairly dark car (black wheels, trim, tint). Sure it's nothing close to a classic, but fits the look I'm going for much better.

Out of curiosity, has there ever been a vanity plate thread on here? Perhaps that needs to happen.

2PDL E90 - how does that sound?
