AFAIK, yes you can just fill the holes without a problem

Your best bet is to contact your local BMW dealership and find the part number for what you need
OR
contact Gary from Newport BMW to find the part number
THEN
order from Gary to receive a 25% discount on whatever you need.

if it's the blue one that's FS right now...you are going to have to paint it anyway, so a couple extra bucks to fill those holes won't be a deal breaker....
