Anyone know what these are?

Was cleaning the car and noticed these two bolt holes behind the lower grill, does anyone know what they are for?

You don't have ACC? That looks like what the ACC radar sensor would bolt to

You're probably right, I did not go with ACC. Thanks!

That seems very un-BMW-like to not cap those visible holes. There is even rust in there. That would drive me bonkers. lol

I don't think that's right. This is the ACC sensor.

Didn't go with ACC and those holes better be plugged! Especially, given that it has been in QC for 11 days and counting

Wild guess. I think it is for the front radar sensor (ACC).

The sensor goes into the sensor mount (part 2) - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=66_0507

which is attached to the middle of the air flap (part 4; you can see the two holes in the middle)
