I forget if you removed it or insisted it not be installed. If you removed it, or anyone else in cyberland, I'd like some tips on what to do with the holes .

jtxc,
My family lives in NYC. So I go to the city almost every other week.
The tac pkwy is fine but how about 684 for racing other?
I done 120 on 684.
I take it easy on the tac. pkwy. I know the bimmer should handle well those tight curves but how about if the driver is not that great!

I'm going to ask my body guy on monday. I'm sure you remember my unfortunate mishap with my rear end. I picked up the car wed. and it looks great. However I also asked them to fix a small nick in the hood and I'm NOT happy with the result. The body guy/owner said no problem he'll take care of it, so maybe they can do the holes when they touch up the hood again.
Anybody know of a plug to cover the holes? I HATE FRONT PLATES!

No plug that I've seen. Probably have to fill the holes and paint the bumper (or part of it. Maybe the bodyshop can come up with something.
I didn't install my front bracket and left the new car sticker on the windshield to avoid a ticket.

I'd opt for none. If there was no state requirement for a front plate in MA, I wouldn't have one. I think it is a much cleaner look. Most people will know it's a BMW. No need for an extra roundel! Save the $$ and use it to take the long way home one day.

The best way to plug the license bracket holes other than bodywork and paint is to put a round-head screw into the hole. Use an allen key style to look neatest. Paint the screw head if desired.
IMHO, adding a BMW front plate lacks imagination. Mount a polished stainless plate with a more meaningful insignia or even flag.
