Even in states that don't require front plates, if you get your E60 by European Delivery they'll put a front plate holder on your car to have a place to put the front German plate on while you're in Yurrup. Then, when you get back to the Big PX you're stuck with the damn thing.

Ummm...? no.
I live in the USA.? and no one drilled anything into my front bumper.
And it depends on your state.? You all up in the north have gayass laws which require front plates.
We don't have those laws in Florida.? The DMV only gives us a rear plate.
Cops who want accurate laser readings can go screw themselves.??

My Ride: MY05 545i Jet Black with Auburn interior. SMG, Logic7, Sport Package, Comfort Seats, Navigation.
The VPC drilled 2 holes and installed the plate holder against my specific instruction. So I bought a Marquee plate to cover them. I normally am against marque plates.
