Afternoon all

I have just fitted private plates to my E91

The front plate that I removed had four screws, one in each corner

To tidy the installation up I have fiyyed the front plate with two screws half way down the plate on each side

Where the screws are fitted there is something very solid behind, is this just a solid bumper bar or is it something more delicate - I have not drilled into it when I made the pilot holes for the screws

Many thanks in anticipation

Just get a number plate holder and use the existing holes to mount the holder. Much cleaner look with no screws showing.

must say the holders do look better,, i have one on my e90,,but not on my e92..i was going to fit a short plate on my e90,,so took the holder off,,then realised the plate would not cover the screw holes,,so bought some proper iength plates and put holder back on,,plate is 5 letters/numbers

Cleanest look for me is 3M double sided tape, I used it for the front and back and it hasn't moved an Inch in 6k miles.

If not, I would go as above with a pate holder.

Best option is a plate mount that goes in the tow hook spot.

Spackle!

In all seriousness, chamfer the holes a bit, fill with some sort of a 2 part epoxy that remains flexible. And use touch up

This is where I am at so far

My concern is what is the solid mass behind those screws behind the bumper cover

The screws literally just go into the plastic skin of the bumper; there's nothing else behind there that they should touch... If that's what you're asking?
