e.g. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_3275
(Note I tried a 330Ci first and it was disabled there too)

Awesome thanks for this, looks like Casa de Mesa nailed the right part number for the proper plastic rivets!
EDIT: Oops shouldve read through the whole thread, its actually part number 51711936929, thanks to NZ_M3!Last edited by BigRussia; 08-03-2022, 05:39 PM.

As I'm working on my brake overhaul, got to looking at replacing caliper bracket bolts. Mine are in pretty good shape, very minor corrosion, and of course nothing says they need to be replaced as matter of course. Is there any functional need to replace these otherwise? Front bolts, $15/per...so, if not needed, I'll skip. Mine are original, just thinking "while i'm in there", but that's a slippery slope.

Just for clarity's sake (and to help anyone using a search string) I'm referring to BMW part number 31106772199 M10X35-10.9ZNS3 "Suspension Subframe Reinforcement Plate Bolt "
So...we all know the recommendation is to reuse them since they're angle torqued per the TIS. We also know that many folks do reuse them because...well, because it's a PITA to order 12 new bolts every time you drop the reinforcement plate. They're also not cheap ($3-4 each now) although in the grand scheme of things that's probably not the primary driver. What i'd like to know is what torque people are using if they are reusing them. I've seen recommended values for M10 bolts in the 40-55 ft-lb range, but the additional 90 degrees of torque angle has to bump that up quite a bit. Of course there's the argument that without the full clamping force you're compromising safety, etc. but let's face it...few of our M3s have stock suspensions anymore so whatever calculations BMW did around that are likely null and void anyway.
There's also the school of thought of using them for a limited # of cycles....i.e. replacing them every other time they're torqued down (which is what i try to do).
Locally the genuine part runs about 9 AUD (6.30 USD) each. Yes there is FCP Euro but returning fairly heavy items (compared to their value) isn't really practical from OS plus the shipping rebuying each time.
I can get a zinc plated M10x35mm grade 10.9 bolt locally for around AUD 0.50 in largish quanties. 150 is 12.5 sets for about the cost of 1 set of genuine sourced locally.
e.g.
https://www.aimsindustrial.com.au/m10-x-35mm-metric-hex-bolt-class-10.9-zinc-plated
or AUD 1 / each
https://www.boltmasters.com.au/bolts...only-fmh10035z
I had another one around AUD 0.50 in quantity but can't seem to find the website right now. There would be any number of local nut/bolt suppliers that could supply something I'm sure.
Edit: I see my first examples don't include the flange on the head. So:
Hex Flange Bolts feature a flange under the head which eliminates the need for a separate washer. The built-in washer acts to distribute the clamping load over a greater area and the wide flange head is designed to provide the same holding power as a wash
The washer should be reusable but from memory it's captive so a replacement would need to be sourced too. Still a lot cheaper.

Will OEM sec. 1> 2 bolts work for connecting SS V1 pipes to SS dual Sec. 2 or are they too short due to possibly thicker flanges?
I see the hardware Obi suggests and I may go that route but if stock bolts are long enough may also just use it as I've got it.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

They were just long enough for me iirc. At least, I don't remember buying longer hardware when I ran v1s with dual pipe.DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram

Totally stock car + 282/270 schrick cams can I pass emissions?
effectively, with a stock tune will it run well and operate normally?
of course, after I pass emissions in the lovely state of California I’d strip it and out back the fun stuff, but for the sake of running ‘normally’ can it do it?

So, need to know if anyone has installed cams with no tune and how it runs.
