Can anyone point me in the right direction. I am fixing my door panels but I cannot seem to find on realoem what screw and what bolt are these since they are missing on my both my doors. |  |  | | 04-01-2012, 08:44 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
I believe it's a coarse threaded torx screw, not sure what it's specs are but I'd just go to a hardware store and just grab some screws that will work | | | | | 04-01-2012, 09:16 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: miami Posts: 232 |
 I think it's #14 & #15. Can anyone confirm? | | | | | 04-01-2012, 09:29 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 |
#14 & #15 look like the airbag hardware. I believe what you're looking for is #11 | | | | | 04-01-2012, 10:03 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: miami Posts: 232 |
I have #11 and those are being used to attach the door handle to the door panel. | | | | | 04-01-2012, 10:27 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
Be careful about the length. One is longer than the other and if you reverse them it will hit the window mechanism and bend the screw. Ask me how I know.  Nevermind, don't ask. __________________ ...steven

I would really appreciate it. I am trying to fix these once and for all. | | | | | 04-01-2012, 10:55 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
I have two screws holding the door handle to the body.
The top one looks to me about 30mm.
The bottom maybe 15mm? __________________ ...steven

On my car (95) the torx screw is the one on the bottom of the handle, the phillips head is the one at the top behind the plate. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

If you look at http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E3...m_panel_front/ There is a 12 and a 25. The 25 is going to be the top. The 12 will be the bottom. I'm guessing it's 12mm and 25mm. __________________ ...steven

Thank you so much for showing these to me. Did you look for these at a hardware store or were they from BMW parts? I am trying to spec them from BMW since I have a $20 credit from them. | | | | | 04-01-2012, 11:10 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: miami Posts: 232 |
This is what I have here. In the bmwfans diagram it shows same width but different lengths. I have here the small one which is said to go on the bottom part # 51418215054 and the top one was already there before. I am confused because in the diagram it shows them as the same diameter but different lengths.

Mine look to be the same diameter with the longer one being a coarser thread. __________________ ...steven
