Random Q about factory supplied front license plate bracket

My E55 is on a truck on its way to me from Florida and I have a question to anyone who knows. Is the factory supplied front license plate bracket set up so that you dont have to drill holes directly into the middle of the bumper? How does it mount? My car has the bracket installed and I am really hoping I am not going to have to replace the bumper because the dealer drilled some damn holes right in the middle of the front bumper.

Unfortunately there will be holes drilled into your front bumper if they mounted the front license plate bracket.

you say the car is coming from FL and i know that you are not required by law to have a front license plate in FL so maybe it hasnt been drilled yet. just a thought.

The cars actually come with the bracket in the trunk, and it is up to teh dealer to mount it or not.
