help identifying screw

Looking for help trying to find this screw with a 10mm size hex.

For some reason I can only find 8mm and I need a 10mm

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the screws in the fender liners and for the liner extensions? These should work

Where does it say that? I see someone answered a question but two different ppl answered 8mm and 10mm.

Also I know it's a 8mm because I ordered the same thing in a 20 pack a few days ago lol. They arrived in a 8mm socket size. 16mm long is also a tad shorter than the screw I posted.

Guess I'm gonna have to take a trip to the dealership

Search for similar screws on other cars, know my E60 has two lengths and off hand think there is 8 & 10mm. Its for the underbody shielding and wheel access to the oil filter.

Why does the socket size matter? You have a 10mm but not 8mm?

I think you mean #10, not 10 mm. Screws are sized by gauge. The ones in the link aa2033 posted should be right.

Sorry I'm not familiar with the correct terminology for screws.

They're not right though. The ones I have uses a 10 socket and it fits perfectly.

The link he posted uses 8. I know because both screws are in front of me right now.

It would be helpful to know where the screw goes. I have one like you do with 10mm hex head and it's more like a #14 screw, though these are probably metric. You can get replacement screws from a dealer; that would be the most reliable source.
