Hi, anybody know the correct torque figure for alloys wheels on the Ti please?
best regards David
(I guessed at around 90ft/lbs???) |  |  | | 03-04-2005, 08:35 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Essex UK Posts: 164 |
Ok folks, sorry I found it tucked away in the manual........100nm | | | | | 03-04-2005, 10:53 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Bremerhaven, Germany Posts: 977 |
I believe 100 Nm was the old recommendation and that 120 Nm is the current one. I tighten to the average, 110 Nm, and rationalize that as providing some tolerance for error in my torque wrench. | | | | | 03-05-2005, 07:41 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Essex UK Posts: 164 |
Thanks for that headsup John, seems my original guestimation of 90ft/lb was absolutely spot on then? A good job I didnt go out and re-torque them as per the manual!  So I knew what the best torque is by judgement before BMW did? I must have been messing about with cars for way too long I reckon  Best regards David | | | | | 03-05-2005, 08:36 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

Aren't they just wheel bolts or wheel nuts?
Two countries divided by a common language eh? <BG>

i think it had to do with the tightening method. with a lug wrench, you had to basically jerk (lug) it until the bolt or nut was tight enough. i also think i'm making up that etymology. | | | | | 03-06-2005, 10:26 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Essex UK Posts: 164 |
I thought it had more to do with the guy who tightens them in the tyre dealers! You know.........tighten it till it shears then back off half a turn.......  No offence too you 'lugnuts' out there of course  Best regards David | | | | | 03-07-2005, 05:11 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 |
My mechanic, when I was at college, said it was 80lbs. __________________
