I just installed my bell housing yesterday and saw that the E28 housing calls for these bolts. I didn’t have them so just used the standard M8x35 bolts from my e9. Worked fine. I’m not sure why they went to those newer style but very hard to find bolts
you can buy the torx ones from Belmetric for 92 cents each in zinc. you can also buy stainless, black oxide + copper plated

And any idea why the switch from standard hex to these between E9 and E28?
my guess is that too many people round off the hex bolt because the bolt fuses to the tranny / bellhousing. the torx has more surface area to break it loose.
Thanks for the link, was not aware of them to be honest. Have checked their site, but not mentioned. Will sent them a mail to ask for the parts.
I doubted about using standard too. But those I also don’t have, and because I see plenty of gearboxes offered online I thought there has to be someone who has this 1 bolt.
The BMW bolt are more dull zinc plated instead of what bellmetric offers. And for some reason it says that I need to ask for a quote instead of being available.
It was used on the 5-6-7 series.
