items 6 and 9 are plastic rivets , assuming your car has these , you can carefully pull the centre pin out until it stops which will allow the expanded outer part of the rivet to fold thus releasing it`s grip .
you could drill out the centre part if it gives you bother . replacements are cheap from a dealer , maybe you should buy some to give you an understanding of how they work .
You sir, are a legend. I've had a look at the car and I see what you mean although there's no way I'll be able to pry out the middle bit since it's too far in and is 'beneath' the outer bit of you can imagine what I mean so there's no way to grip anything.

I'll get some new bits from BMW parts and drill out the old stuff.
