I saw quite alot of BMW's driving around with german plates up front and US plates on the rear. Does anyone know the reason?

Muricaahhhh. Aan de andere kant van de plas hebben ze geen kentekenplaat voor. Ik denk dus dat het dan ook mogelijk is daar zelf wat op te hangen. Gezien het een auto van Duitse makelij is zal dit wel humor zijn. Best tof!

Great pics are car, and what a spec, red on blue. I'm not sure what's up with the plate thing but I see it too, predominately on BMWs and Mercedes.

@hardstyler [@Hill Country Automotive] Thanks for the comments. I do know that people from the US (or anyone for that matter) get the option to do whats called a factory delivery. which means they pick up the car at the factory, BMW then provides temporay plates for the car so you can drive it for a few weeks in Europe for vacation purposes. So that might be an option but the problem with this is that the plates that or on the Z4 now are no temporary German plates but permanent ones. Maybe the car is imported and they choose to keep the plates? Could also be just for fun as Hardstyler stated. Will be a mystery for now haha.

I guess it's just for fun to be honest... The 'SYM03' part looks a bit odd to me.. Great spot anyways!
