BMW License Plate Base - Genuine BMW 51188238061

Product Information

A License Plate Bracket is a component used to secure a vehicle's license plate to the body of the car. It provides a mounting point for the license plate, ensuring that it is displayed correctly and legally. License plate brackets can be made from various materials, including plastic or metal, and are designed to withstand weather conditions and road vibrations.

• Loose or Wobbly License Plate: If the bracket is damaged or improperly secured, the license plate may become loose, wobbling or rattling while driving. This can lead to potential loss of the plate or failure to display it properly
• Cracks or Breaks in the Bracket: Inspecting the bracket may reveal visible cracks, breaks, or deformities. A damaged bracket may not hold the license plate securely, increasing the risk of it falling off while driving

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
