Uber obscure P/N needed

Hello brother E53 members.
I’m looking for a part number I can’t find.
On the 4.6 model, there is a painted lower valance.
It attaches to the front bumper via tabs.
On the inside of the bumper there are spring clips that
secure the tabs to the bumper. They are flat with a slit to
Secure the tabs to the bumper. About 12of them.
Can’t find the part number on real OEM.
I Don’t have any more resources to look up.

Is it the split flat metal ones, like a sheet metal horseshoe with a bolt hole in the middle?

If so it's probably: #07129901655

Spring nut is a generic part you don't need bmw brand. They are either machine screw or sheet metal.

Many of the bmw spring nuts are machine screw and a horror show I had to cut through 1/3 of the bolts holding the bumper cover on.

Replace them with sheet metal design likey #8 or #10 screw size.

There is a page in real OEM with all of those body nuts listed of the different sizes

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...81#07129904150

I think the second one listed 4222 is the most common one on all the fender liners etc.

Edit - it's not that one, it's 4150 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...er-07129904150

The left and right long under plastics had a larger one 26mm I believe to be 07147144276
