Is there a metal license plate frame that matches the curve of the mount on a 2 series? I don't want plastic and accessory metal frames from BMW leave a gap at the sides between the frame and the bumper.

I have never seen or heard of a curved license plate frame. Good luck.

Put the frame over your knee and bend it. Same, same for the plate.

If I had known, I would have gotten the US Millworks front plate holder in white. (My car is white)

Maybe someone here knows if it's bendable.

US Millworks isn't bendable. Like 3.0L mentioned, it'd be best to put a slight bend in the plate itself to mount to the factory plate holder. If you want to maintain the streamlined front bumper, then you can also use double sided 3m tape. That's how I mounted mine to the front bumper when I was stationed in Europe. Tape provides protection to the paint from the plate and the plate is still close enough to the bumper to not set off your sensors.

I got a plain black metal frame at Auto Zone that was about $6, and built like it is only worth 3 (just a 3/4" border with 4 mounting tabs, for my front Millworks plate). Although flimsy, it is fine for my purposes, and I am sure you could bend it gently into a modest curve. Eventually I'm going to rig something to mount the MW plate in the center, or go for a sto-n-sho, but I needed s/t quick. The MW plate is quite solid, not worth trying to bend it if you don't want it flat.

Generally I don't like license plate frames at all; they tend to draw visual attention to something that I don't care to emphasize.

But I found one style that works well and is very discreet. It is a thin (about 1/4") flexible black frame that simply stretches around the perimeter of the license plate, and stays in place with a U-shaped groove that fits snugly over the edge of the license plate.

Its minimalistic purpose is solely to hide the edge of the plate, and make it look finished. The frame is so thin that it needs no holes for where the plate's bolts need to align: I use matching black caps for the bolt heads.

It was hard to find this frame, but I did see it in one local auto parts store for only about $3-4. But, a Google search might turn one up on Amazon, etc.

Anyway, it would flex per the OP's intention while being nicely inconspicuous.
