Subframe torque spec

Wondering if anyone with a Bentley manual can hell.me out with some torque specs for a 2011 mini cooper s? I'm curious what the specs are for the sub frame bolts? The two bolts that secure the control arm bushing carrier to the body, the two bolts that are up by the wheel arch, and the 6 underneath the car. Thanks if anyone can help.

Well I tightened up the bolts while i waited for the specs. I took my torque wrench to see where they were at and I guess I got them to 90ftlbs. Well the spec is 74ftlbs so I went a little over board. Should i back them out and torque to spec or leave them?

Yeah I know but I put them on while I waited to find them but I didnt feel I tightened them that tight with the wrench.
