2013 BMW X3 28i just arrived!!!

My wife and I ordered a 2013 BMW X3 28i on 5/3/12 and it just arrived at the dealership. This is our first BMW and can't wait to get it in the garage. Does anyone know whether the front license plate mount is already attached when it leaves the Spartenburg plant? I like the clean look of not having a license plate on the front and would prefer no holes in my front bumper. I emailed our BMW salesperson but being its Sunday they haven't responded yet.

Mine is not attached; the dealer rep show it to me, in the truck.

They're not attached from the factory. The plate mount and frame should be in your trunk unless the people at the dealership already put it on.

I am 100% sure there are no plates on the vehicle until the dealer puts them on. So if you see them on the front it's the dealers fault.

As per the procedures, dealer takes your permission in writing before mounting the front number plate. This is true even in California where front plate mounting is mandatory.
