Hi,
Does anyone know anywhere online, where I might find some BMW body nuts, the flat metal tabs found on our E30's?

Or will it be the same old, dealer OEM?

Cheers

These are the other two sizes I keep in stock, which between them seem to cover most BMW applications.

Brian, do you have a link handy for the larger size used by the headlight large screws and other areas?

Pretty sure it's the largest of the above.
