Wheel torque specs?

///MCFC · 10-18-2014, 03:09 PM

Anyone have the recommended torque specs? Cheers.

overcoil · 10-18-2014, 03:37 PM

I think/guess 88 ft lbs / 120nm
If your in a pinch make sure no less then 80ftlb and no more then 90 ftlb - until someone can confirm.

///MCFC · 10-19-2014, 10:28 AM

Thx!

njdangler13 · 10-20-2014, 05:06 PM

Spec is 140 Nm or 103 FT lb

Anderw · 10-20-2014, 09:14 PM

I always do 95Ft LBs but the pic above says 103 so guess I have been doing it wrong maybe e9x was different

ska///235i · 10-20-2014, 09:55 PM

If the bolt is the same size as the older models (e9x) i dont see why there're an increase in torque, but goe with whats listed I guess

F series uses m14 diameter bolts whereas E series uses m12 bolts

Can ANYONE confirm this from an ''official'', identified, source?

horsepower_and_hounds · 10-28-2014, 07:37 PM

Is the torque specs not in the owners manual?

alz0rz · 10-28-2014, 07:47 PM

Looks like the FSM

Béhème · 10-29-2014, 12:48 PM

My dealer has confirmed that the cars listed below require 140 NM (M14 X 1.25)

///MCFC · 10-29-2014, 02:29 PM

thank you, Béhème. very helpful.

Should probably sticky this thread/information. Most people doing web searches are going to incorrectly believe they should torque their wheel lugnuts to 88.5 ft/lbs.

escobar929 · 01-25-2015, 10:11 PM

Anyone know what the thread length is on the M14x1.25 bolts?

Bee Pee · 01-26-2015, 02:22 AM

Trick Q, thread length on a M14 x 1.25" bolt is 1.25"

Kidu · 01-26-2015, 02:44 PM

it is 103 ftlbs. confirmed with dealer (Schomp BMW of Denver)

On the H&R site they have about 8 diff thread lengths the M14x1.25 bolt and says to measure your oem thread length.

My bad the 1.25 is the pitch of the thread.

oem bolt threaded length is 27mm so if using 10mm spacers, you need longer, 37mm bolts.
