Default Taillight assembly screw

Hi All-- I was adding oil to the car, and my taillight assembly fell off. Seems like the (1?) screw holding the thing in fell off somewhere. Does anybody know the size of this thing? Online, I've been able to see a picture, and the part number may be P97024. Its a hassle to drive out to the dealer, and if I could find it closer, it would be convenient. Thanks as always, gents.

Do what I did. Take the one from the other side and go to your local hardware box.

Did the same thing. Went to Ace Hardware and replaced all 4 of the stock screws/washers with stainless hex panhead screws. Ace has a much better hardware selection that the big box stores.

Funny how many screen names I recognize from Bimmerforums' E36M and Track sections!
