Default E60 525d: Microfilter Housing Bolt Part Number?

I've looked on realoem but can't find the part number of this bolt for the life of me. Recently purchased and missing the bolt at the base of the microfilter housing on both left and right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try local junkyards for replacements. Or call your dealer's parts department and ask them.

the screw you are looking for is also torx head, but it is a coarse thread screw that screws into that white plastic washer that is in the shock tower.

i dont think it's worth calling junkyards for that. you can find a suitable coarse thread screw at a home improvement store. besides, that screw is not really serving any critical function.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I agree that it is not a critical component, but the engineers put it there for a reason so if I can replace them for a few bucks, then I might as well.
