I mean 105 Lb-ft is the bmw standard across most of their lines if not all.

Gets spicy when you go stud, then Ti+ stud, and then add anti seize. Almost feels like a crap shoot. Haha

No. I was going to do that this morning if no one answered my question. It only took a second. And the time you took the write what you did you could’ve just told me. Unless, of course you didn’t know. But then you could’ve looked in your manual for me right?

So you know better, don’t care, and then spend the few minutes you could not spare to search on writing a long response trying to justify your actions.

Brother, I’m just joking around. I actually got a good nights sleep and I feel a little giddy this morning. Don’t take it personally. Just having fun.

But I’m not trying to justify my actions. I knew that somebody like Maverick would have the answer immediately. Much quicker than finding where I put the manual and looking it up. I apologize if that bothers you.

89 ft-lbs is the correct answer

I think 89 is the spec for the older cars with M12 bolts. The spec for newer cars with the bigger M14 bolts like the M5 is the 105 that Maverick posted above.
