Part # for Torx T30 bolt

[Doru]

I couldn't find the p/n for the torx bolts that holds the front bumper for a 2004-2006 X5, at the lower grill. There are 4 in total. The dealership couldn't help me either, because they were looking at the same resource - the TIS version of realoem. Here is a sketch attached with the 4 bolts in question highlighted in red.



And here is the realoem link, which doesn't have them? Holds onto item #10:

Your's are Torx? Mine are just an 8mm bolt in those spots you highlighted

Yes, they are torx T30 with the washer integrated. Black. Cannot find the p/n, and I have one missing. They are metal bolts with fine thread.

Just to clarify...the ones you're after, are different (smaller) than the two on the top middle ears of the bumper just to the inside of each headlight? Those look to be about a t30 torx, and are fine thread...but are too large for the spots you have indicated.

No, the spot is correct (how I have it highlighted): On the lower grill that's part of the bumper. They are 4 torx bolts with integrated washers. They are positioned as I marked, on the top row (4 of them). I will go and take a pic. Will post later. It's exactly like the TIS sketch/photo.
I am not talking about headlights or foglights.

Im not questioning the position you have marked. Im trying to say that there is a T30 Fine thread Torx (black with integrated washer like you mention) on the ears of the bumper just to the inside of the headlights (with the hood up). Are those the same as what you are after?

Are you the original owner of the car? If not it could be possible that somebody put the wrong screws in there after a repair.
Mine has 8mm bolts there too.

I wonder if they've been changed to. I was going to suggest that they are either #19 or #22 based on the encircled numbers in the illustration (encircled number represent hardware).

But then, when you look at the QTY column...#19 has FOUR listed (the exact number you need) whereas #22 has FIVE listed.

Realoem.com also has an image/pic link at the far right of #19 & #22...do either look like they may work? Again, perhaps the 4 screws have been changed somewhere along the life of the vehicle.

Could be they changed the p/n and either they didn't update realoem, or realoem is updated and I have the old part. I tried a ceel phone pic this morning, but the image was terrible - fuzzy with no clarity. I will try later today after work. When I pulled the bumper, one bolt was hex shaped, and I had a really hard time pulling it out, because it didn't fit. I had to drill it out, so now I have 3 bolts. The hex was buried in the plastic part of the grille in a way that no socket could go over it without damaging the grille. The torx bolts with the integrated washer fit perfectly, and the imprint in the grille where they bolt on is made for them.

Do they look something like this?
