Pre-order CA Legacy Plates

As of January 1, 2013, the California Legacy Licence Plate Program went into effect. California residents can apply to the DMW for one of three vintage plates from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. More information about the program can be found on the DMV website.

I definitely like the vintage black plate with yellow lettering. As soon as I receive my personalized license plates, I will probably apply for the vintage ones. Unfortunately, there is a minimum 7,500 threshold before each plate goes into production. This threshold needs to be met by January 1, 2015 or the plates will not be produced.

I always considered the BMW 1 series a successor to the BMW 2002 Turbo due to its mod appeal and race car history. I think the legacy plates on my E82 would give the modern car a vintage feel.

I hope the plates go into production soon. Pre-order the plates here.
