LOL.. Thanks for the update. That's a necessary piece of information.
I get ya. My current car has a front license plate but with a bracket extension. Not bad, as it doesn't look out of place or goofy looking. But like you said, we're talking about about the M3 here. I'm sure TM will address this issue soon. Also: Anybody here at TMC work for the DMV and/or law enforcement who would care to comment?

... or get more jurisdictions to allow front number"plates" like this:Maybe carmakers should invent a license plate slot that won't alter the car's shape so that aerodynamics is not affected.

This seems like more in line of what I think they will do. It gets rid of the duckbill issue some people seem to have with the 3, but at the same time, makes it look sleek, modern, and quite sexy . Plus, no mustache required! .
Oh look! It's a Porsche Paname... hold on a second.
Looks good but it resembles the Panamera's front way too much. I'd still prefer the sharper edge.
Personally I like the original nose the most.

Not sure about the sticky residue that it would leave behind. Plus it looks like a bumper sticker... or get more jurisdictions to allow front number"plates" like this:

Here is some additional perspective and poll... 3 to 1 in favor of a new front bumper design.
Tesla Model 3 could benefit from the front fascia refresh [Poll]
Overall, the Tesla Model 3’s design was very well-received with the prototypes unveiled back in March, but it was far from universally loved. Aside from the trunk, the most controversial design feature is arguably the front fascia. While I don’t mind the Model 3’s front end, I get where the criticism comes from. Jim Cantrell, Elon Musk’s former space strategist, called it a “faceless fish”: It’s certainly not conventional and while I don’t want Tesla to bring back a grille, or “nosecone”, maybe it could benefit from the Model S’ refreshed front fascia?
And here’s another one by EV.network based on a promo shot by Tesla (click for higher resolution):

I'm just afraid that the Model S fascia will look like crap as soon as you put a license plate underneath it. I think it won't be as bad without the mustache.
While this is not a concern for less than half of the states, it's a real problem for the rest of the world.
I'd also like to know what the difference in drag coefficients would be between both versions. I'd prefer a lower one no matter what.

If I lay on the ground and look up at the m3 - I like the duck bill.
Problem is: I refuse to constantly be on the ground looking up.

Damn, what are you driving that you can't make last another year or two? With a grand or two you can make any car last that much longer. Seems to make a lot more sense than buying another car...

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry with 258K miles on it. My job relocated and I'm putting approx. 130 miles per day on it. I have oil seepage starting around the piston rings. I can tell in the morning when starting up. I suppose I could put a grand into the engine and fix it.
