Just barely fits e46 330xi, but it does fit
If I could give a rating with half stars, I would have knocked off only 1/2 star. While it does fit, it's a close one. The holes are 1 to 2 mm off, both when attaching the bracket to the car and when attaching the plate to the bracket. Which means you have to fiddle with it quite a bit to get it secured. I did manage it but I was cursing my way through it. However, if you have the patience for the fiddling, this is a much better deal than the OEM product. The multitude of screws that come with the set definitely help, most especially the washers. The frame is metal, which is much better than plastic, although I've seen better faux carbon fiber. Since I was planning to use my own frame, that didn't matter to me but it might to you. All in all a good set and a good buy, as long as you're prepared for the swearing.

You get what you pay for.
Installation: 2007 BMW 328xiPros: All required pieces to install are included (I mainly needed the expanding clips). The bolts provided are all the same size torx, which gives higher security. Washers are included if needed (I did not require them). And "carbon fiber" bolt caps are a finishing touch to conceal the bolts. An all-in-one purchase!Cons: As mentioned by others, I would say the greatest complaint are the dimensions which are slightly off making installation annoying (this was for every location a bolt was required). The plastic frame seems flimsy and fragile. I have a school plate cover that I had intentions on using yet the bolts for the plate were almost the same length of the plate covers thickness. Not only that but the license plate bolts are fairly short that if you use their provided carbon cover along with the washers, Good Luck! And, I would not have minded to use the carbon bolt caps, yet that would have led to the same issue as the washers. "Luckily" my package did not include the rubber adapters to snap the fiber caps on to.Fitment: After assembly I tried wiggling the assembly around and it was in place decently. My only concern is that the trunk is not flat so the plastic license plate adapter bends when it is attached to the trunk. Because of this, the entire plate assembly is not "pressed" onto the trunk, therefore it wiggles along the horizontal midline (were the bolts are attached to the trunk).

Not sure I trust this...
First of all it needs better instructions or even a short instruction video would be nice. The bolts that hold the license plate itself to the bracket should have came with nuts I feel like. I assume they meant for the bolts to be threaded into the plastic bracket. I dont feel like that will hold over time. They should have made the bolts longer and included 4 nuts in the kit.

Good fit, includes all hardware
This fit perfectly. Not sure what problem other people had, or maybe they improved it, as one hole is now slotted to accommodate alignment. It also helps to NOT tighten any of the screws, either to the car or when you put the plate on, until AFTER you have ALL screws started. This allows you to wiggle around to get all the holes aligned.

Almost doesn't fit - flimsy aluminum license plate cover (not carbon fiber)
Purchased this for a 2008 E90 335xi, and would see this review as applicable to other 3-series from the same body style (E90, E92, E93) and model years (2007, 2008, 2009, 2020, 2011 - likely more).First - the product arrived bent. Didn't hold up well shipping in a bubble envelope. Not a huge deal, but annoying since once something that is as simple as this plate frame gets bent once, it is pretty much impossible to get it flat again. The astute reader would say, wait, this is advertised as a carbon fiber license plate frame, how did it arrive bent from shipping? Because THIS ISN'T A CARBON FIBER LICENSE PLATE COVER. I double checked the product label, and it is misleading. If you read the details in the listing it says: "Carbon Fiber style license plate frame, aluminum license frame protected with water and sunshine resistant Carbon Fiber film" further down, and one photo does say it is an aluminum frame. Still, I find this slightly deceptive advertising, but the truth is in there if you look closely (but, who really does with something like this??)Next, the kit is advertised to come with multiple sets of screws (at least in the pictures), but it doesn't. It only comes with 6, 2 for the mounting bracket and 4 for the license plate. The plate screws require a torx head, which they provide, but if you lose it or don't have another torx screwdriver, good luck getting the plate off down the road. I would have preferred a regular Philips head screw.Last is the fit. It was very very tight to get on the car. If I didn't have the patience and ability to fenagle the plate/bracket setup it wouldn't have been able to fit. It is nearly impossible to make work with a California issued license plate. Not sure that states would manufacture plates with different hole locations (seems a bit ridiculous) so why is this made with such a poor fit? I saw this mentioned in previous reviews, figured I could handle it and needed something the next day, otherwise it would have been a pass for me. Having installed it myself, I am a big pass on this and wouldn't recommend.Overall, one of these issues would have been ok. All three? Sorry, not acceptable. Other reviews have said you get what you pay for, in this case I think you actually get less. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
