Fastener Thread

[BillWilliams]

In an effort to document what fasteners are used on a 2002 we can start with this. The sorters below contain bolts and nuts that I have taken off of 2002s and then bought new ones to match as well as I could. I bought them from metric supply houses, not BMW. So these are not OEM but serve as a supply when working on 2002s. (It would be nice to have a complete Wurth supply cabinet.) So short of OEM or Wurth, here is the third best thing.

At the bottom of this thread are PDFs of spreadsheets with the fasteners and BMW part numbers. I have no idea why someone may want to use this, but I put it together just in case. If you need the MS Excel spreadsheet, email me.

I use sorters to keep fasteners straight. Here is what I use.

Box 1

Box 2

Box 3

Box 4

Box 5

Box of oddball clips

Spreadsheet pages with part numbers. The fasteners without part numbers are those fasteners I keep around but I could not find part numbers. So, either I have extras or I was unable to find all the part numbers.

Nuts

To get a sense of the most common bolts and their sizes and uses, I did some datamining on RealOEM.

I went to RealOEM and did a search on "hex bolt" and got all the part numbers and then looked up the description (size mostly) and then did some quick summaries. Lots of the same size bolts have different part numbers. I then created a summary table that shows the most common size. There is also a column for where it is used. You can do a quick sort to see if you have sizes on hand for your project.I can now order the main ones from McMaster for my upcoming projects. Parts based on 72 tii.

The Excel spreadsheet is attached.
