Forgive my ignorance on this one but I checked the wiki for it and is it:
"Strut Upper Mounting Nuts - 22Nm"
Fitting a brace bar and want to get this right.
Cheers in advance.

Ordinary 8.8 grade M8 bolts, so 22Nm is about right. Not a critical figure, and one which most mechanics would set with a normal spanner.
Making sure you have enough length of bolt showing through for the nuts to screw onto is what you should be worrying about.

I didn't want to shear anything off by mistake but agree on the available thread. Are there different top mounts that compensate for that with extended bolts?

But this is BMW, of course they have a torque value.
