Do F3X use XZN fasteners anywhere (triple squares)?

Good Morning,

I think I have all the tools I need to work on my F30 but I am wondering if the F3X uses any XZN fasteners, and where I would run into them....I know VAG loves to use them.

Thank you!

I don't think so, BMW are in love with Torx now. from small to large ones, torx everywhere.
I guess torx is better than hex... but do you really have to use them everywhere?
I had to buy another Torx set for the strut brace bolt...

I think that it is E18.
I bought a set that goes up to E20 and I was good so you should be fine.
