I was looking through the euro ETK and the only part number I could find for the front plate bracket was the same as the US version. So after several minutes of looking, I called my dealer. After he was baffeled as well, he called BMWNA parts. They told him in Europe the license plate is screwed directly to the bumper!?!?!?! :eek:

Is this correct?

Well I assumed they used a bracket like the US plates do.

Tried it. That's the same part number as the US holder!

I looked it up on the ETK as well.
