Not sure what you mean by 4 e-torx bolts. On my vehicle,2009 335xi, there are two long e-torx bolts that secure the engine mount to the subframe, one on each side. 20ft/lb. The engine mount attaches to a support arm that attaches to the engine block but on my vehicle, that is a hex nut 41 ft/lbs

Thanks for confirming the torque value on the subframe bolts! And yes, I was referring to the long e-torx bolts that secure the engine mounts to the subframe (2 per side). You say it's 20 ft lbs for those? Is that value also from ISTA/D?

Edited my previous post. Doh - yes there are two on each side, not sure what I was thinking. And yes, all values from ISTA/D

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but it would be in your best interest to get an alignment after that much shift of the sub frame.

Yes. Even after a smooth sub frame drop I can tell my alignment is off.
