guys, if you are in need of new knurled bolts for the light access panels (under the hood), you might be out of luck. part #63121811910 (#5 on the picture). one of mine was loose between the plastic and the machine screw ... and i had to cut the top loose. i went to order them from tomkinson and got a message of NLA. i have no idea if they just need to make more, or if they are gone for the forseeable future ... but none in Germany either. i luckily bought the last 6 from Penske this morning that they happened to have in stock ... and showed up on a recent inventory.

i assume they are white or gray. Penske wasn't specific as to what they had, and as long as they match ... i'm okay. all i know is that BMW isn't currently stocking them.
 
RSPosche,

I was trying to find these finger screws new for some time, with no luck.

However, I recently sourced some second hand from CoupeKing.

Cheers,

Rod
 
The original ones were whitish/ translucent and I've seen new runs made out of black plastic. BMW probably doesn't care what color they are as long as they are functional, but I imagine they will keep them in stock in the future...
