Ill post pics but bumperplug.com has plugs for those holes. Ive got them for my car and they look perfect. I hated having those holes there.

I'll use touch up paint for the small holes. CVT Benhogan

I live in California, the front license plate is required. I am worry if I get cut from the police, I will need to put the front license back on. If the holes are bigger, I'll need to find a bodyshop to fix the bumper, it's going to cost me more money.

I checked the site many times, but I can't decide if I want to buy it or not. Few members mentioned it require to drill the holes bigger for the bumper plugs.

I agree with you. My other reservation is the bumper plugs seem quite large. This could draw attention to the location of the holes, at least my attention. Hopefully, TV550 will post pics soon.
Right now, I'm trying to convince myself that the holes are small and this is working right now.
On a different and but equally sad topic, the car was delivered with two small cut marks on the lower front fascia, which occurred either during shipping or at the BMW dealer. I'll forward pics of the damage soon. The dealer promised to touch up these marks and I'm debating if they could touch up the drilled bumper. Any thoughts?
I'm still happy as a lark though.

Day two and loving every minute. 
My favorite pics are the top down perspective of the open driver side door (we all see this and we know its now time to get in and have fun). I also love the closeup of the front fender (thank you very much Mr. Bangle). The flaring of the sheetmetal as it reaches the front fender is breath taking. I realize I need to be committed.
