Does anyone have any of these fasteners that hold the rubber strip on the euro bumper?
They seem to be nla?

Darn that blows. My brother needs some as well. I bet a King Bolt / hardware might have something similar.

edit: wait, I think that bolt is M-Tech apron specific?

Maybe something like this could work if you can find dimensions:

yes m-tech

Thanks for the reply and the idea. I think I am just going to go the local bolt/screw place here in town and see if they have anything.
It is for the m-tech. I have the smaller ones for the regular euro bumper....they sort-of work, but they pull through and don't hold as well as the m-technic ones.
thanks again,

I'm going through this with e24 trim bolts, they look pretty much the same. 15mm square head, 2mm thick with a 23mm m6 thread.

BMW still has them, but they're $2.50 each + shipping and I need 25 of them. I'm not going to spend $60 on trim screws so I'm just going to make my own using a flat bar of 1/16" thick x 1/2" wide aluminum, and either some m6 bolts with the heads cut off or 1/4" all thread. Drill and tap the flat bar, and tack weld the threads. It's going to take a hour or so, but I can buy the materials for $15.

you can use elevator screws. do a google search. i bought mine from Loews. 2 for $1 in a pack.

Hmmm... that's really close. I'm not sure about the square neck though. I'll do some digging and see if I can find some that don't have the square. That will be easy to trim down the head for the right width. Thanks!

Thanks for all the input. Yes, bmw does have them, but they are expensive. Will check with the bolt place today, and let you all know what I find.
thanks,

That is a good deal for oem.
I went and got the elevator bolts. They work just fine, and the whole set is 4.00 with the washers and nuts.
thanks for all the input, rear m-tech 1 valance will get put together today:)

How you figure the elevator bolts work like OEM?

I could pay 50c a piece for them, and another 25c for the nuts that are m6x25. For a total of $17.50, but BMW wants almost 75$+shipping for 25 bolts/nuts.

No, I meant they will work, but the oem are the best. I got mine together with the elevator bolts, but noted that tightening down the nut is a bit tricky, because the elevator bolt wants to spin; it is not square like oem. Will it work? Yes, and for 4.00 I will work it out:)
