Hi guys

Just wondering how tight these wheels nuts on a BMW 1M coupe have to be?

Cheers

Can't imagine it's any different than any other BMW, 88 lb/ft.

Thanks red bread. Any other takers just to clarify?

I'll second the general rule for bmw's is 85 to 90 lb/ft.

Don't forget to torque them again after driving.

Official conformation from BMW says 88.5 ft/lbs so thanks gents.

Or 120nm torque, is that the same? I wouldnt do the locking bolt up as tight as this and also add some copper grease to the bolts, hardly any on mine.

The torque wrench that comes in the "jack kit"(for a spare tire) comes preset to 130Nm.

130Nm = 96 ft/lbs
