I am in re-assemble mode of my coupe and need various sheet metal screws used to attach the rocker panel covers and inner door moldings. I have searched the forum, W&N and etc and cannot find source to order these screws. I also visited by neighborhood ACE Hardware and they didn't have the correct screws. I'm thinking the best course of action is to order the screws from McMASTER-CARR.

The table below lists the screws I'm referring to.

Does anyone have a good resource for these screws and the part number at the vendor?

Same screw used on rear window molding. BMW Parts diagram doesn’t show or list this screw.

Is this screw truly a different size than the upper rocker panel screw?

I think even your local bmw dealer will be able to find something, as they are quite standard type of screws. Just lookup the partnumber and consult with the dealer. Note that sometimes bmw will provide something that works, but looks different. I wouldn't be surprised if you may well get a torx screw.
Walloth is usually closer to original for these fastners.

Belmetric - see Don's link - is my go to source for parts like this.
