E88 135 N55 intake pipe

[telsey]

Hi Everyone,

I could use your help finding a replacement screw after dropping it into the engine bay. I conceded to the car after removing the lower tray, looking with an endoscope, and probing desperately with a magnet. The screw isn't listed on RealOEM but I assume it comes with the upper intake pipe 13717599286. It holds #1 and #14 in the diagram below together. It's not the same as the 2 screws, 51417067920, that hold in the air sensor. It's a size smaller with a portion of unthreaded shank, a T25 head, and coarse threads for plastic. It could be similar to 13717545438 which is used on other models to secure the airbox. The single screw below is 13717545438 but even the local BMW parts dept can't find the thread size and it's not in stock.

I've got a road trip in a few weeks so I don't have time to randomly buy fasteners, wait for them to arrive, and hope they work. If anyone has the PN of the original part, the size/photo of the original part, or the size of 13717545438 it could save me spending over $100 on the inlet pipe and hoping that the bolt comes along with it.

Thanks!
