Thank you for your input.
Not sure what you think a write-off is but in this instance those things you mentioned would be a reduction in revenue/profit.

If the holes are an issue then make it part of the negotiation process, there doesn't need to be any special credit or voucher especially since the overwhelming majority of buyer would not care if there were holes there, whether they use a front plate or not. The members of this forum do not in any way represent the general consumer that is buying a BMW. Many, if not most, do no planning, research, etc., and are not overly concerned with details. They just decide to get one.
