Ha, that's funny on the Lotus vs. CX-5. I made it 6 months with my e46 before getting pulled over, and then I just bought the bracket and put it on - but the holes were already drilled, so it was less painful than this virtually new bumper. The plate/bracket will protect from some parallel parking marks - my e46 bracket has clearly been backed into a few times - so maybe it's not so bad.
I think you're right on the M5 not really being a huge cop magnet, too. I'll probably give no-plate a whirl for a bit.
