I would screw them in and then put a little strip of double sided tape on the bottom so it doesnt make that cheap ringing sound when you close the trunk.

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
Screw all 4(2 on top and 2 bottom. That will prevent the plate and frame from rattling

BTW, "future glue" is a super glue specially formulated for automotive plastics (like the crap they use to make radiators and overflow tanks!)

I'm going to have to go against the grain and say double sided tape. I always stick mine on, front and back as I don't like the look of the screws.
Never had any problems on this car or any other, even on the front which has a bit of a curve to it.
Just make sure you use the proper tape
