Only took three attempts to get it that close to the edge
A lot of people (myself included) don't like drilling holes into the front of their bumper. I personally think front plates are pointless to have regardless not where you live. The majority of cars don't even consider the front plate mounting until everything has been designed fully. Of course there's a a way to mount them as an afterthought which is my point. Cars don't go through the window tunnel with a front plate mount meaning they don't account for the additional drag, noise etc. These are minimal things yet they bother me which is why I never keep one mounted. I had an offset mount of my X3 M40i which screwed in under the bumper and had a removable section for your plate ie I never had mine mounted. When I'd get pulled over I usually said I forgot to remount the plate after way the car. So far I haven't gotten a ticket only warnings.
