Product Description

The Mishimoto MMLP-F80-15 License Plate Relocation Kit is engineered specifically for the 2015-2018 BMW F80 M3 and 2015-2020 BMW F82/F83 M4 equipped with the S55 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline-six engine. The kit relocates the front license plate from the center of the bumper to the OEM tow-hook mounting position, providing a clean installation without drilling permanent holes into the bumper.

Constructed from high-strength 6061 aluminum, the assembly features an anodized black tow-hook shaft and powder-coated black plate bracket for durability and corrosion resistance. The plate is angled to follow the contours of the F8X bumper, helping reduce aerodynamic disruption while moving the plate away from the central cooling stack to preserve airflow to the radiator and intercooler.

The kit is designed to work with factory front parking sensors and includes the tow-hook shaft, plate frame bracket, hex bracket, hardware kit, and Mishimoto plate frame. Installation uses the factory tow-hook location, with the tow-hook shaft specified to be torqued to 40 ft-lbs. This makes the MMLP-F80-15 a suitable solution for F8X M3 and M4 owners who need a front license plate mounting solution without permanently modifying the bumper.
