Yes, it'll work. The hardware just attaches the frame and plate to the BMW license plate bracket, and while the brackets may differ in bolt positioning slightly from car to car, most any bracket that left the factory in the last 20 years should share the same hardware. That includes the bracket to car hardware as well as plate to bracket.
Just an example, I just swapped the bracket from my E92 to my wife's M235i because the selling dealer wrecked her bracket using domestic standard hardware, and my bolts fit her car. You should be fine using the Ti64 hardware.

Thanks!

I don't see why it would be different. I used a thread checker to check the bolts that were in there and made sure the depth was ok.

Ceramic coated the calipers and swapped the chrome side grills back. Can't find my stock kidneys though

I think it looks much better with the polished lips on the wheels.

Used gravity for good on a cruise up the Malahat.

Also, car said it needed a litre of oil. So I pressed the stock and had it recalculate. Came back again that it needed a litre of oil. I added a litre of oil...

Now it says I am >MAX. My kingdom for a dipstick - and what I would not give to be able to smack the soulless prat who decided dipsticks were a bad idea.

And FML, those sensors are EXPENSIVE!!

Installed H&R springs, e36 bump stops, shaved top hats and did a dif fluid change

ItsGary · 06-04-2019, 07:38 AM

Had a few buddies over and washed our cars.

Haven't driven the car since Saturday morning. Not in the mood to drive the car until my new tires arrive.

I add a full 1L/1qt every time and never had an overfill issue.

Thanks fellas. It was a lengthy project but so worth the wait. Now to put the stock chrome kidneys back and remove the splitters and tone down the window tint as well. The whole stormtrooper vibe no longer applies.

Siajoon · 06-04-2019, 12:21 PM

About to get my first oil change done after my rod bearing service by MRF! And swapping out the old transmission bushings. That'll be the last of the bushings to be replaced, wooohoo!

Cheers to Malek for always taking care of my car, he's the real MVP!
