e88 Front Strut Brace Torque specs?

[bonez318ti]

I recently had my Valve Cover Gasket replaced, but upon inspecting the work at home I found that they failed to fasten the Passenger side front strut brace. The bolt was finger loose and the strut wiggled around (so it wasnt tightened at the firewall/cowl either.)

I know the strut tower bolt is a E14 and the firewall bolt is a E18, does anyone know what torque these should be tightened down to?

I havent been able to find the correct torque specs after extensive search and the closest I could find is for the E90 (details here) which is "E18 head and M12 threads. The smaller strut tower bolts have E14 heads and M10 threads.
Firewall bolt torque spec is 100Nm (74 ft-lb) plus an additional 100 degrees.
Strut tower bolt torque spec is 40Nm (30 ft-lb) plus an additional 60 degrees."

Can anyone verify that these are the correct specs for the 1er? Are these single use bolts? Can I assume the bolts that are on there are new ones?

These are the correct torques, and Yes they are single use bolts.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but this the only relevant thread I could find...

Anyone know the part number for the E18 bolt that goes into the firewall? I found this was super loose on my car and causing a whole bunch of creaking. I tightened it up and the creaking went away, but want to replace since these are single-use bolts. Have a few other things to order so I figured I'd toss that in on my order, just can't for the life of me seem to find this on any parts diagram...
