RealOEM.com (use the “Classic” catalogue) generally provides the bolt size, see the attached page from RealOEM.com, which reproduces pages from the original parts catalogue. The 4 fan bolts are 6M x 18mm, and still available from BMW, among many, many sources.

There never was a pedigree with the fan bolts.  Any that are the correct size and length meet the bill.

Also, a little trick on installing those, put 2 6 mm threaded studs in first, make sure that they are are quite a bit longer, use them as guides to slide everything on, then put the 2 proper bolts in and before you tighten anything, pull the studs out and put the last 2 bolts in  Don't forget the 2 locktabs that go on as well

 

Thanks, Rick

...or you could just use 4 studs and be done.

 

But I suppose, on many cars, the length would have to be jussssst right, huh?
