Official torque values for bolts?
Official torque values for bolts?
Hi, I have been searching for official torque values for all bolts for a R56s 2011. I have the repair manual but it refers me to another document that I cannot find
I am looking for everything related to suspension, steering, engine and manual transmission mounts and trans to engine bolts.
I am not trusting what I found until now. For example many places list the torque for the trans to engine bolts as being 63 ft×lbs which is crazy. Anothet place listed 41 which seemed more reasonable but even with that I feel the bolts stretching. I finally found a place that says 28 which seems the correct value for the size of the bolts.
I would also like to know which bolts are TTY and which ones are not.
thanks!

For both instructions and torque values I only trust newtis information by BMW, i.e. information within ISTA. Torque and torque-to-yield values are fragmented though and thus not very user-friendly when trying to assemble all required values prior to doing extended work on the car.
Get a Bentley manual
you can usually get a few bucks off from ECS if it’s your first purchase.
I have the Bentley and the Haynes
together they cover 99% of the tourque values your looking for.
Without a manual, your working blindfolded. For some that’s perfect. Working without one can add time and waste money.
Time is money
Peace of mind on torque values is really important as evidenced by your initial inquiry
