Evidently, 60K purchase price isn't enough for that necessity and no options are offered for purchasing a mount thru BMW.
The bumper is not drilled from the factory because different regions have different requirements. They do however supply a mount. Upon delivery they will drill your bumper and put the plate on un less you tell them otherwise.

Most of us just don't want the bumper drilled (if it's drilled can't go tow hook later with out leaving hiles behind) and will go an alternate route or run no plate
