You should have used one of these instead. No drill holes in your bumper.

I like that 2nd bracket on the E46 M3 it looks like.
Glad GA doesn't require front plates.
Have you guys seen these? Something to consider...

Jo is a good guy and they have e60 kit as well. Also I think it looks kind of cool where it is placed.
