    M10x26.5 Caliper Bolt torque = 81ft-lb?

    Am I reading this correct, The two M10 bolt for the calipers spec'd to 81 ft-lb's?

    Sure they aren’t m12? M10 won’t like 81ftlb

      No, spec says M10x26.5, I confirmed when I removed mine, they are M10.

        Weird , Real oem says m12x1.5 which is one of the fine threads which is same as most 3 series

        if m10 look up general torque for the respective grade

            TIS lists it as M10 bolts, 65 Nm which translates to 48 ft lb.

            Edit: this is for the rear.

              I believe the Torque PDF was corrected for that value.

                PDF still looks incorrect. 48 ft lb is the correct value

                  There was some discussion on old forum about the fact that some cars have 18mm front and 18mm rear while others have 18mm front and 16mm rear bolts. It didnt seem to be pre vs post facelift... The pdf probably only has the value for the 18mm.
