Realoem has it as qty 2, 4.8x16mm self tap, pn 07143448498, but I'm a bit skeptical.
Obviously there are 4 mtg points and their system doesn't match mine.
And my screws are 5.2x22 not ST.

Tip: For the panel resto, you can buff out the dirt and {UV} oxidation on the ABS.
I then hit it with paint, bumper&trim black, giving it an eggshell finish,
OR a black primer for a flat.
*** BTW, trim panel removal proc
1. Unscrew the license lamps as these are clamping the top edge of the trim plate.
2. Unbolt the side lamp assembles as some ears retain the license trim panel.
3. Pry up the qty 3 pin&inserts along the lower edge, prying straight outward from the sheetmetal.
4. Pull trim plate downward to free the tabs on the upper edge.
5. An outward and upward rotation is required for the panel holes to clear the short bosses on the body.
Boss clearance might require intervention.

Had a 550i back in the days that I owned for a few years.
Screws have been ordered. Hopefully they fit. Will keep you posted.
