Lost nut replacement

Hello,

I lost the nut that holds the air intake plastic pipe to the turbo and seems to have permanently disappeared in the engine bay.
I know that it is a 10mm nut, but are there any other considerations? Do I just walk in to Home Depot and ask for a 10mm nut?

I have an N20 F30 328i

Thanks

You need the diameter and the thread count. You may be able to find out what it is on http://www.realoem.com/

For anyone wondering, here are the specs for the nut:

10mm socket/wrench, outer diameter
M6, or 6mm inner diameter
1.0mm thread pitch

And it is called a flanged hex nut.
