Hi guys,
I need to get 2 new bolts that hold the drums in place and not sure what size they are. Real OEM isn't very clear, was hoping someone would know!
Thanks

And NLA from the dealer? That would be the easiest way imo

Theyre not standard bolts. A pan head socket head is how Id describe it. From memory the thread size is about the same as a 10mm bolt.

Is it one of these?....
Or one of these?....
Pics found using "E21 disc retaining screw" as a search on google.

Yup that's for brake discs and therefore is likely to be different. Can't find it on realoem. Wanted to check with my dealer contact but he's currently testing new Mini's in Morocco. Thought I had a tough life...

Yeah, I checked with my local BMW dealer and it still wasn't very clear, he said he could see 3 bolts available. Looks more like the first one, thanks for the help.

Just order one for an e30 and it will be fine!

That's what I was thinking as well!
