Nav GPS mount screws: Where to buy?

While riding yesterday, the left side of my Nav was shaking, almost violently. After stopping to check, it appears that the screws on the left side of the GPS mount had come undone and fallen off.

Specifically, #3 and #18 on this diagram.

Anyone know where I can get 2 x Hex Nut M6-8-ZNNIV SI and 2 x Fillister-Head Screw M6X18-10.9-ZNS3? Are these generic or BMW-specific?

I've found these exact ones on eBay but for both, it's more than $10. (Not averse to spending $10 but seems overpriced for screws and nuts!)

Have you asked your dealer whether this could be a warranty issue?
 
I googled "M6-8-ZNNIV si" and found a listing on Amazon. Not sure of availability.

I just go to my local (happens to be an Ace) hardware store and pick up replacement screws. They sure seem to work as well as the BMW or Garmin-branded ones.
