Hello,
Does anyone have a source or a part number for these push pin wheel well liner retainers? I pushed the pins out, and of course now I cant find them.



Thanks,
Keen

There are a few different lengths. I imagine your local BMW or Mini dealer parts department should have a bunch in stock.

Those things are the worst....

 

Yup, I backtracked the part number and those are the ones. Thanks a million!

And yea, they are the worst. The whole setup is the worst. expanding rivets, One regular plastic retainer. One 8mm bolt. One T25 torx bolt. Musical tools to get the bumper off.

 

Yep if you push them out you can loose the center pin in the bumper.

 

Yeah. I know, but I couldn't figure out a way to release them without pushing the pin all they way through. Then I could only find 2 of the 6 on my driveway after the bumper came off.

I had trouble finding them because the OEM parts sites list them as #12 in the picture, but then don't offer a #12 to buy. Also I didn't know the official part name is "expanding rivet". Now I do.
