Apparently, the Euro version of the trunk lid finisher is pretty exclusive in the US. I know of only three that have it here: myself, rodybmw, and subterFUSE. Everyone else has the US version e.g. EuroCarFan, and all the M5s in the US.
I hadn't thought of this but all three of us who have the Euro version have Titanium Gray 545's.

license plate holder goes on top of the two holes. then screws will go thru both . screw driver is thats needed 15 second install.
Just to clarify the installation method for whoever buys it I just wanted to mention that the license plate screws alone will not hold the finisher. You also have to use the double sided foam tape that came with the finisher around the perimeter. If for some reason the finisher did not come with the foam tape you can use high quality whether proof 3M foam tape. Here are some picture of mine to illustrate where the tape goes (by the way, the first letter of my Munich plate and the first number of my California plate make a "nice" combination, don't they? ):

You can get it from our fellow member quad_m or order it from your dealer. Just make sure to mention that you want the Euro version and not the US one. The Euro version has the wider area for the license plate (like the pics of my and VT's car) and the US version has the narrow area that is just slightly wider than a US plate.
