To those with TORX: what size for door catch bolts?

Tightening up my new-to-me e90 and would like to adjust the door catch/latch (on the door frame). Figured I'd ask here should someone know what Torx those bolts are, or have a set of T's handy and wouldn't mind checking... TIA.

Found it, maybe.. RealOEM lists the bolt spec as M8X20. Confirm?

That's not a torx head size, it's a bolt size (8mm dia, 20mm long).

Quick update... found a nice torx bit set with socket adapters for reasonable price at our local Kragen. A quick look over the car, some pertinent Torx sizes:

upper kidney grill lips - t20 (grill mods)
airbox - t25 (air filter diy)
seat bolts - t30 (in case you want to get under the seat)
door catch - t40 (should you need to adjust the door-shut alignment)

Feel free to add any e9x Torx faster sizes as you come across them.
