use the parts catalog and your VIN to find the part numbers for the bolts https://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do
fastest is the closest dealer or one of the online shops, often the bolts are part of a transmission filter kit as shown here https://www.fcpeuro.com/BMW-parts/74...=5&b=5&d=10&v=
tightening torques are in here https://www.newtis.info/

If there’s no metal it should be fine regardless of how it looks. Put a new OEM filter and new fluid in with a bottle of Lucas transmission fix and a tube or dr. Tranny shudder fix and it should shift like new again. If not, then you probably have a very worn transmission. Not uncommon at all to fail by 140k on what sounds like original fluid. Either that, or your trans temp cooler regulator thing is shot.
