X3 Personalized plate ideas?

So I've decided to order personalized for my new X3 which I should have by the end of the month (hopefully). It takes up to 3 months to get them approved in Colorado so I have been trying to think of a good plate to order.

Any ideas?

This is an interesting thread because it's one of my major pet peeves. I believe since a personalized plate costs extra, it should be creative and personal. I switched from my 335i Convertible to the 35i X3 because I had back surgery and needed a more comfortable sitting position. I'm considering getting "SPNL FSN" for Spinal Fusion. I think it's confusing enough where someone might ask what it means and when I explain it, it should make sense.

Now my pet peeve is people who get a plate stating the absolute obvious: RED CAR, RED BMW, RED X3, 2011 X3, etc. Sometimes I want to ask the person what the plate means and when they say it's a red x3, I want to say "You paid extra for that?" Thanks for letting me vent.

Interesting to hear what you come up with.

At the risk of ruining the party, one of my pet peeves is personalized license plates. But hey, if you want the attention, go for it.

My favorite though was one I saw on the E90 forum. It was for an M3 and the plate was "AMG LOL".

Funny you should mention this. There's a de-badged AMG around here in San Jose with the plate "LOL BMW".

I requested three different ones - and hope one gets approved. I won't know for 2-3 months which one I can order.

1) LOVEX3 (So I love my X3 or it can say that I love my husband & 2 daughters) They all think I love my new car more than them.
2) LUV X3
3) LOVE X3
