I looked at both 4.4 and 4.6 e53s of different years on RealOEM and these bolts are still grayed out. The info on the oil flange in particular is suspect as it only shows one o-ring required where two definitely are. So something may be gooned up with RealOEM on this part.

My 4.4i is a 2002, vin 5uxfb335x2lh36976, but I'm swapping the M62 4.6 into the car. The 4.6 motor is brand new and I'm building it up before doing the swap. It was assembled in 2020 so I've been selecting the last 4.6is build date available on RealOEM to determine parts. 90+ percent are the same as the 4.4, including this flange and associated parts. The diff shows a part number for the longer bolt that attaches it to the oil pan, but not the shorter bolts.
