The made-to-fit magnetic number plate kit for the BMW M2 G87. Here's which front and rear kits you need, and why M2 owners are going plate-free.
The G87 M2 is one of the best-looking BMWs in years, and that aggressive front end deserves to be seen without a plate stuck across it. We run a G87 M2 ourselves, so we built a kit specifically for it.
Quick answer: for the BMW M2 G87 you need two kits:
- Front: the BMW G87 M2 Magnetic Number Plate Kit (£64.99), made to fit the unique curve of the G87 front bumper.
- Rear: the Steel Tailgate Kit (£34.99), because the M2's rear plate sits on a steel tailgate.

Front: the G87 M2 kit
The G87's front bumper has a distinctive curve where the plate sits, and a generic flat mount never quite sits right on it. Our G87 kit is designed around that exact shape, so the plate sits flush and solid while you drive and comes away cleanly when you take it off.
- Made for the G87 M2 front bumper only. Exclusive to Plateless.
- No drilling, no screws. Nothing permanent on a brand-new car.
- Paint-safe. Thin, soft foam-backed pads protect the bumper.
- Plate off in seconds. The front end looks the way BMW drew it, ready for photos and shows.
Rear: the Steel Tailgate Kit
On the M2, the rear plate is mounted on the steel boot lid, so it needs our Steel Tailgate Kit rather than the plastic bumper kit. Four magnetic pads go on the back of your plate and grip the tailgate directly. There's nothing to fit inside the car, and nothing left behind when the plate comes off.
- Strong grip on steel. Recently upgraded to be even stronger.
- No tools to fit. Clean, simple install.
- Tidy rear end with the plate off. No holes, no screws, no bracket.
Not sure? Hold a fridge magnet where your rear plate sits. If it sticks, the Steel Kit is the one.
Why M2 owners choose Plateless
- Built on our own M2. We developed and tested the G87 kit on our own car.
- Protects a new car. No drilling into a bumper you've just paid for, which matters even more on a lease.
- Secure at speed. Plateless kits are tested on motorways and on track, including at the Nürburgring.
- Plate-free in seconds. Perfect for meets, shoots and showing the car off online without blurring.
- The original. Plateless (formerly Magna Plates) is the original magnetic number plate kit, designed and made in the UK.
