splash shield attachment points?

After doing my recent oil pan seal change I noticed I was missing some of the under panel screws. When I went to replace them with some spares. I noticed they just fell out like a hot dog down a hallway.

These aren’t the u clips but like white circular inserts the screws appear to thread into. They go into the under body itself.

Anyone know what they are. Can’t find them in a parts diagram.

Here are all the parts.

They are being shy about the bolts (screws) for some reason?

It looks like

screws into #8 Expanding Nut.

I would say

screws into #11 C-Clip Nut.

Also,

is the screw for #9 C-Clip Nut.

Well, that was fun!

I believe it’s #7. Hard to tell but given #6 is greyed out and shower kinda under it and it’s the screw I think that would make sense!

Yes, those should be white push-in nuts.

I recently added a bunch of missing splash shields to my wife's xDrive35i and had to buy a bunch of this cr*p. lol

Were they difficult to remove and install?

A panel trim tool might help if yours are destroyed...
