Vanity Plates?

It's that time again to renew plates and I was considering getting Vanity plates. What are you thoughts on these:

VQ35HR
V36 SKLN
V36 SKYN
VA 350GT
335 EATR
335 HNTR
IH8T66 (Rt. 66 in Va is one of the worst highways in the country for traffic)
NS 350GT
3CRSETR
3SRSETR
MY350GT
V36 350
PORT 80

Not a huge vanity plate fan - the best one would be VQHR35 from your list. 335 etr just means a bunch of 335 guys will be laughing at u while they walk away...

Yeah, that was the immature side. 37 years old, 6yr old, 4yr old and 3 week old and luckily still married after 14 lovely years with the same woman.

I'm a sick poker addict so our plate says "PKTPAIR", but it was transferred to our G from our previous ride. If I was going w/ a new one for a g I really like G TRIPN or BTRGET1

i actually saw an RS-6 the other day that said "M5-Eatr". but ya vanity plates, tacky, unless extremely subtle, kinda of like "Cali G's" plates. but personally i think vanity plates are retarded, and a waste of money, plus you drive a nice car, you don't need vanity plates to draw attention to you car. Alone it draws plenty of attention.

also if you do a vanity plate then DO NOT do 335 eatr or 335 huntr...because you, I, everyone on this forum, and every 335 owner knows a 335 would molest our car (in a race).

Naaa, just keep him racing long enough and either his fuel pump will go or his transmission will overheat.

On a serious note, after driving a friend of mines 335i coupe I came away with mixed emotions on the experience. The 335i has better fit and finish. There is no question about that. The cabin is quiet. It's steering is nothing short of phenominal. I hated the steering wheel position. It felt like I was reaching for the wheel. I also thought my G35 handled better and kept an upright stance around corners better. My friend also commented on the later. When the as* end of the G becomes loose, it's extremely easy to control. The 335i didn't leave me with that impression. This may be partly do to my inexperience with the car.

I dont think so, the G has a much better and modern interior than the 335i, not to mention the bells and whistles on the G. The G's seats are softer than the 335i. The only thing the 335i does better than the G is perfomance. Handling is good on the G so if its wicked on the 335i who cares, both handle very well

To go back to the topic, vanity plates are retarded IMO

My G35 has rattles. His has none and his 335i is older and has absolutely zero rattles. His dash and headliner material appear to be the same as the G's. I personally cannot stand the dashes on the new bimmers.

I was driving behind a 335 the other day and he had vanity plates that said "BMW 335".

Seriously? You can put anything you want on your plates and the only thing you can think of is the model of your car? Which, by the way, is already on the back of the car, right next to the license plate!

I think that's why I'm against vanity plates. It's just too vain.
