BMW Security Screws....

Hello all,

There are two screws that hold the mass air flow sensor into the housing on my 96 E320, I thought they were standard tamper proof torx screws, but there not. Does anyone know what kind of screws these are and the head size?

Thanks, Martin.

I think it is Torx #20 but could be wrong. One thing is that you need the security type of Torx head or whatever it is called. These have a hollowed out center in the Torx driver. Home Depot and Lowes do not have them. I bought a set like this:

You may have to reconstruct the link. I bought mine at Ace hardware for $13 because I didn't want to wait for shipping. You need a screwdriver-like handle with the socket end at the tip. Most likely you have one but if you don't you can pick up a cheap one at Ace for $2.
