I bought one of these at an auto parts store. Amazon also has them.

To put new rivets back in, I bought one of these at Harbor Freight. My pop rivet gun for metal rivets would not accommodate the thickness of the plastic rivets BMW uses. None of the rivets that came with it appeared to be the same size as the OEM ones but maybe one of them would work. I had already bought rivets through getbmwparts.com With this tool there is no nozzle to change like a traditional pop rivet gun.

I also used a hair dryer and plastic pry tool for dash panels/trim to help get the reflectors out.
