Hi All,

Does anybody know at what point during the build/prep process the front plate holder is installed? I'm guessing it is either at the prep center or at the dealer itself.

Thanks.

yes it is, they put it on

Dealer... And a good one will ask you if you want it before drilling holes in your bumper.

+1
also a good one will throw in the holder in the trunk in case you are pulled over by cop

Yup. Dealer. I saw the note they made on the screen when I got my car yesterday. Bracket was in the trunk but I'm buying a different mount that does not use the self tapping screws. Bumper holes = bust.

What I do is tell my CA, at the time of ordering, that I do not want a plate holder. No holes, please. He or she puts a note in the file. Then, right before the dealer takes possession, I remind the CA one more time.

That's what I did when I oerdered my 535i through small dealer.
the bigger dealer I dealt recently just don't install front license holders on all new cars arriving on the lot and ask at the time of delivery; "how lucky do you fell punk?" ala Eastwood

My current 335 came from out of state & has no drill holes, which is great. I order a car several yrs ago & asked for it not to be drilled so I could do a no-drill frame, when they called it was in I reminded them, by the time I got there it came out drilled, argh. I think dealers are more aware these days that some people don't want it drilled so it's not as unusual of a request.
