I always skip the frame. Looks the cleanest imo and doesn't scratch the paint.

In my opinion the nicest frame is the one you don't notice. Basic black steel sounds like a winner to me.

I used to have thin, black frames for my plate.

Keep in mind that many states have laws against "obstructing" any areas of the license place. I was pulled over three times because my frame blocked part of the county and registration sticker. It was still clearly visible, but it gave the State Patrol a reason to pull over a BMW.

I'd avoid putting one on.

I went with a minimalist look. No frame, but with high-quality stainless hardware:

Here's that M plate from Amazon.. actual BMW dealer's inventory. It comes with black caps to cover the screws also, but I'm waiting for the new plate to replace this dealer tag before I put the caps on.
