IF you have the bolt available AND IF you're in the USA LOWES has a large section of "standard" & "metric" fasteners AND they have sizing guides. You can thread a bolt into various guides to determine the correct size. Getting one that is "CLOSE" can really mess up whatever you're threading into or bolting together.

Alternatively, head over to your BMW Dealer Parts department with the part number and the part you're looking to replace!
