If that’s the part I think it is, then the part number is 07146981767. Places like FCP Euro and ECS Tuning should carry them - or any other shop that sells OEM BMW/Mini parts, such as Way Motor Works.

Thanks for the reply, that number you gave is for the sheet metal screws that hold the large flat plastic shield for under the engine. The U-nut that I need is for a machine threaded bolt that holds the lower portion of the front bumper cover to the aluminum bumper brace in front of the radiator support.
I have to go pick up my rear calipers and pads tomorrow, I may just stop by the dealer and zes what they want for them
You should be able to pick these up or something very similar at larger hardware stores or stores specializing in fasteners. I was able to find some that are better quality / sturdier at a local specialty tool stores: The Tool & Equipment Store
Most large towns and cities have a store like this where you can pretty much find anything you need apart from the weird plastic fasteners used on German cars.

Super confused here. I have my whole front disassembled currently and cannot for the life of me figure out which bolts hold the bumper cover to the bumper support. I'm here taking it apart in my head again and nowhere do I remember any bolts directly connecting the bumper cover (front facia) to the physical aluminum bumper underneath it. With the exception of the two T25 bolts on either side of the radiator, the bumper cover mounts around this whole assembly. These look like the ones that hold the skid plate to the air dam?
Ok. That's true. I guess I was stuck on the bolting it to the aluminum bumper thing. This is where it attaches to the core support / radiator support. Come to think of it I need one of these too. Thanks!

I have tried most of my local hardware stores here in my area.....they do not have the "6mm threaded U-nut" pieces that I am looking for.......so I just went down to the dealer and showed them what I needed, he looked them up, said that all of what I want will be here next Tuesday and he would call me......I was also missing one of the T25 Torx shoulder bolts that hold the top of the bumper cover to the aluminum brace.....so I have one of those coming as well
And yes, I made a mistake....the lower front bumper cover does not attach to the aluminum bumper brace, it attaches to the lower radiator support.....sorry if I caused confusion

Good job finding what you needed! No worries about confusion. At least you reminded me that I needed to find them too :p Thanks!
Threaded U-nuts under the car needed
