Lug Nut

Rolling · 03-12-2018, 04:30 PM

I have a 2016 328xi f31. Anyone know the torque setting for lug nuts? In all my past BMW's it provided a specific torque setting. It was even different between two e60's i had (I assume as one was an xdrive).

Anyone know? I couldn't find it in the manual (online or print) and the only thing that came up in search was for a different model.

Maybe I'm overthinking this but looking to put on my summer wheels. Always found it interesting that my others are between 88lbs/ft to 110lbs/ft. (or range)

This is the exact recommended spec on dry bolts. Some like to put anti seize but I don't because I have a winter set so it doesn't stay on for more than half year and I think that's fine.

Bolts should always be lubricated both on the thread and the taper. Otherwise you get an inconsistent and low torque.

Dry bolts & 140nm.
dive like 50 miles and tight them again.

RTFM! BOLTS MUST NOT BE OILED!

Don't trust people telling stupid and dangerous things like putting oil or grease on the bolts.
