Went to the main BMW dealer... they couldn't find it. Searched ETK by myself and it's just not there.
Ok... 6 series left headlight. It mounts with 4 screws. The screw that mounts on the upper right (headlight in front of you) and goes somewhere under the front left fender has an Adjusting plastic screw behind it. It screws into it. That plastic thingy is used for adjusting your headlight so it flows perfect with the body lines of your bumper/fender (you can mount the headlight more to the front, to the back, to the left and to the right using that little screw). Without it, or if it's broken (as it is in my case), you cannot adjust the headlight so that it comes perfectly where it should. There will be a difference between the right headlight that has the screw in perfect condition and the left headlight witch doesn't have it at all or it's broken. The headlight will just not positionate correctly in accordance with the other headlight. To see better what i am talking about here is a picture from and E36 showing it. It's supposed to show for the E63 aswell since i held the damn thing in my hand today but it just doesn't exist at all in the ETK. Maybe somebody who works for BMW or knows this things can help me out with a part number, definition or anything really so i can buy the damn thing over here.

Here's a better description/picture of the part i'm looking for
It's the little black screw marked with 2 in the second picture. "Adjust headlight (1) to fit by means of adjusting screw (2)."
