Part number for battery box screws?

The battery box on the z4M is held on with 3 strange screws at the bottom.

These have an 8mm hexagonal head with a Phillips type cross-slot in the middle, and are made of plastic. (Because of the plastic, many people try to remove them using a screwdriver rather than an 8mm socket, and strip the centre slot). You can see them at about 50 seconds into this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHIfb0CW7cE.

Despite spending a lot of time looking at the on-line parts diagram at http://www.realoem.com/bmw/, and 2 trips to my local dealers (where I dealt with 2 different people in the parts department, and spend ages looking on their system), I have been unable to get a part number for these screws in order to buy replacements.

Does anybody on Z4-forum know what the part number is?
 
I had to have them replaced on my M Roadster and I believe this is the part that my local dealer used which was not the OEM part.
Part # 07147120304
 
Well, kudos to the parts department at Wood of Salisbury BMW! They recognised these as being the same fasteners that hold the undertray on a 7 series and were able to order them for me. Interestingly they do not show up on the TIS system for the Z4M.

In case anybody is looking in the future, the part number is 51.71.8.259.788. Cost was 36p each including VAT.

They look like this:

awesome stuff!!! these are a nightmare for roadster owners to find..... ill order about 10 i think for future use as they always snap when you try to take them out.....

well done finding those, in the end i used a different piece from the bmw inventory, works the same and looks alittle nicer.....
