identify this screw?

Found these in my jar of spare screws. At first I thought it was from a computer but now I think it might be from my E90. Can any of you identify it? It is a perfect fit for a DIY job I'm about to complete but I need a few more.

EDIT: that 5p coin is the same size as the US 5c.

Hmm I wonder if these are not interior trim screws. They look a bit longer though compared to your pic.

Could be from a GM car, I had a GM car prior to the BMW.

If I google "car torx screws" lots of them come up but they all seen to be bigger when I check the size. Will have to keep checking.

Might be the air intake just above the cooler fan, but I think those are a bit longer

They look like the ones that hold the cabin air filter housing in place

Edit: never mind. My vote is cluster

They could be ashtray screws. I did replace it with a sunglasses holder. The number would be 07147133553 but I just can't find their size anywhere.

You were right. The 2 screws above the speedo are that size. As well as for the ashtray which is where they most likely came from. Others might have guessed correctly too, I'm sure they are used in more places, but this is the only one I checked.
