My 545 6sp (US model) will be delivered in about 10 days. Can someone tell me if the rear license plate has 4 screw positions or only 2.

From the pics I've seen and from past experience with BMW dating back to 1989, it'll have four.

I have the license plate in a BMW frame with 4 lp screws, but only the top two screws go into the car panel. (i.e. there are only two holes drilled into the car.)

Thanks all,

My '97 and '00 540 6sp's had 4 but wasn't sure about the '04 545. I'll order the license plate frame I want with 4 mounting holes.
