    S54 Connecting Rod Bolt Torque (Late Model M10)

    Hi all,

    I am thinking about doing rod bearings on my 2006 M3 while in quarantine, since I need to replace the oil pan gasket anyway. However, I am finding mixed information regarding the torque specs for the connecting rod bolts for the later cars with M10 bolts. Can anyone who has done rod bearings on a Post-2002 S54 chime in and tell me which ones of these are correct?

      Thanks! I looked at this but didn't see it specified torques for the M10 bolts too

            The Service Bulletin is post on the DIY. Forum search function works sort of. There's a DIY section nonetheless
