I definetly feel better to tell someone who asks, how to do it the right way ranther than let him drive with 4 wheel bolts just because I am of the opinion this is good enough.
When OP decides for himself to do it differently then it's up to him
Just watch on ISTA+ and your right BMW says to replace the bolt. If you look a different torque spec chart on ISTA you can see that BMW says to replace most of the bolt that are related to suspension and brake. This way they protect themselve from any possible lawsuit.

Anyway, you win. I guess the ''right way'' is to replace those bolt if remove them, those and any bolt related to suspension.
