What's the correct torque for these? Can't see it in the wiki and Haynes manual doesn't list it only for 5 series.
Thanks Matt

My Haynes manual states for the "Rear axle carrier to body" it should be 140Nm or 103lbft.

Thanks, it that the burgundy one that covers the 5 series to?
Is that torque under 5 series "axle carrier" ? I have the picture , with a number to the nut bit no matching torque value, odd
