If you're using the bmw plastic rivets, they look and behave just like a metal rivet. The difference is they are made to deform with the plastic they are bonding exactly like the plastic they're bonding where metal would be more rigid and cause a deformation of the plastic. Also metal heats and cools at a different rate and that would also cause problems. Push pin connectors won't work well because the aren't as secure.
