I was impressed that Wheels World actually looked up the torque rating specified by BMW and did the bolts up to the proper rating manually using a torque wrench.
In the past I've had them rattled on way too tight, and once way too loose. After a skid pan day I heard a thumping noise and thought I had broken something. Turns out my bolts weren't even finger tight anymore!
I now check them regularly.
