Haven't you got any paperwork? The service book or manual supplied normally has the dealer stamps (1st one is usually at the supplier) if not the address in it.

If you do find the dealer, it doesn't mean they are still around or trading under the same name. GL. :D

Any local BMW Dealer can tell you this over the phone when they bring up your chassis number and spec will have a code for supplying dealer
Alternatively you can contact BMW UK :-)

Hi guys. Plates are £38 + postage. The design will of course be as close to the original ad is humanly possible. I also have loads of plate designs so might have your original already on file. There is alsoa dealer signage database sticky in general chat with lots of info as well.

Let me know what you need mate ;)
