Valvetronic bolts: special? (Can't get them)

Hi guys,

My 523 is "opened up" at the moment and the former owner had some dangling working on it, so there is a lot messed up.

The problem at the moment is the Valvetronic adjuster and its mounting to the engine (metal valve cover).
The bolts coming out of there are the right size (off course) in threat, but the head seems way to small.
Also; as I understand you have to replace the bolts with blue hands, right?
I want to replace them anyway as they don't have that blue head, but I can't be sure they are the ones that are supposed to be in there.

So I ordered them and mister BMW can't deliver......for an unknown time!
If they are not special; I can just get some bolts at the hardware store and be done with it, right?

Does anyone know this stuff?
I have overcome a lot (broken bolts and stuff) and I would love to end this and drive the car for once
Appreciate 0
