So here is what I did on our X1 as well as my 1M. I used the factory license plate holder, the bottom clips into some slots in the bumper to hold it secure, then for the top I used some threaded posts with matching SS screws $2 from Lowes, these have low profile and are flat. To the back I used some 3M molding adhesive tape so that the posts are stuck to the bumper.

If I ever need to remove it for a car show, or if I move to a state that does not have stupid front tag laws, I can take it off without a mark. I looked at the aftermarket options and was not happy with any of them. I've had it on my 1M for about a year and a half, after getting a ticket for no front tag, has worked like a charm, and did it right away on the X1. I didn't need to hear about the man hassling my wife for my desire to have a better looking car with no front tag...
