How tight are your nuts?

[Anonymous]

Just bought a torque wrench. Anyone know what I set it to for 296 wheel nuts? Can't find decent info anywhere.

I use 120 Nm torque for my wheel bolts, although I believe that some owners use 100 Nm.

Depends on the bolt:

M12 = 120 +/-10 Nm (E85/6)
M14 = 140 +/-10 Nm

But I don't have TIS that covers E89.

He asked about an E89 which are M12, hence my posting of 120Nm

Brilliant, thanks.
I will refer to them as bolts from now on - just wasn't as funny in the title

No source and 'I just use' makes it sound like an opinion though

120nm is what BMW dealers use. I asked them a few years ago.
