I wonder if the panel where the plate is supposed to go is plastic, so a magnet won’t stick there. Dealer plates often being magnetic so they can put them on and take them off quickly, and all...

I would say dealers often attach plates with magnets to easily swap from one car to the next, but that’s a regular auto plate. Odd.
I did check the plate because I was bored:

It’s from Wisconsin. The original bolt holes probably rusted away.

If I remember correctly, all of the Transits built in turkey were shipped to the us with seats in the back. Once in the US they strip the seats out. So they could avoid the chicken tax.

Probably a dealer. They butchered the hell out of my 128i because the bolts were at the bottom and it would have made their plate frame upside down. I was pissed when I learned they drilled into the plastic holder and then pushed in the plastic plate screw retainers then used too long of screws and scratched the hell out of my trunk lid behind it. I called them about it when I realized what happened. “Oh we would never do that” “We will call you back after we get to the bottom of it” Guess who never got a call back.

True. Still rather D’oh -looking.

I see a difference from the Transit Connect that I could buy, if so inclined.
