As radioactive said, it is total BS... mine did not come with the plates... My CA showed my a few plates he had... I chose one and he then installed them on my car!

If your plate is already on then this will possibly irritate you. Ours came with the mounting bracket in the trunk, and when the dealer service tech went to install it we both noticed that there is absolutely nothing on the bumper to indicate the exact placement. He claims that other BMW's have dimples as a guide as to where to mount the bracket. So the good news for those that do not need a front plate, the front bumper is completely smooth.

I was on the bus to my dealer to get the X3 when I got an email that the service dept. contrary to what me and him requested, installed the front bracket (MA dealer). I was furious, but when I got to the dealer, the car was pristine again. My dealer delivered again and I got my bumper plastic insert swapped. Looks PURRR-fect!

That really is sweet looking. Wish we didn't need front plates in the city. It is a shame how plates ruin some front ends...
