To be honest these types of items off Zeds being broken are usually brittle and of little use and break when removed. You are better off just replacing with new.

I probably don't need the numbers I have put but thought I would replace them all until I saw the price and thought ok no wonder people end up using silicone! Like my original door card and sill trim were when I first got the car!

Well, my advice was based on removing many of these fittings on many Z3s I have worked on over the last 7 years. Its worth having a few in your toolbox for those times you need to remove trim or panels etc.
But as they say, sh*** off, sh*** on then you end up with sh***.

I have boxes of bits for "just in case" and then you find you don't use them, bin them and then a month later spend an hour hunting around before you remember you binned them!

There are decent copies of most of these parts on ebay. The problem is a) knowing which ones are decent and b) knowing exactly what size you need. The cage nuts are the worst thing to get right. The self-tapping screws with the captive washer are easiest.

My go to seller is byronix - https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/byronixautomotivefasteners

Good example I go through lots of - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400549249738

I use the same supplier as well as others, usually you can find what you need by putting the part number on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/37140532...6FB3kPHTJG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY but sometimes it’s worth asking your local dealer when something comes up a bit rich.
