R60 S ALL4 brake guide needed.

I'm about to do the brakes on my '15 R60 S ALL4 and I'm looking for a guide on how to do them. Most importantly I'm looking for any torque specs I may need. I've done brakes on my 02 R50 and my 2000 Ford mustang so I'm not a stranger to the job but I'm no professional either. I know the lug bolts on the wheels are torqued at 108ft/lbs but I'm unsure about all the other bolts. Could I follow a normal GEN2 guide or is this car very different? Please help and thank you.

Thank you very much, I don't know why I couldn't find that. I searched for a few hours and had no luck was only finding stuff for gen2 minis.

I’ve been going by 103 Ft lbs for the wheels, probably not that big of deal. But don’t go too little! I originally only could find torque spec for the wheels for an R56 at 87 I think it was, and my left front wheel almost came off. All 5 lugs were so loose I could turn them with my fingers ..... needless to say, I had a funny vibration, lol.

eh I don't know, I work in a tire shop and my torque chart recommends 108ft/lbs for my R60 so that's what I'll go by, my R50 is 88ft/lbs. It is a Steelman chart provided by my work place so I know it's not right out of a mini repair manual but it hasn't failed me yet.

Damn that's wild, lucky you caught it. I've been a tire tech for the past 6 years and I have a wheel torque chart from Steelman on my tool box provided by my work place. The chart shows any mini 2012+ being 108ft/lbs and then the '02-'06 being 88ft/lbs, I've done lots of rotations on my R50 at 88ft/lbs and luckily never had anything come loose on me.

Also is that a Midnight Grey R60 you have? It looks great.
