Vtl you are needed here lol

Front Sway Bar Mount Bolt - 21Nm
Front Sway Bar Link Bolt - 58Nm

Hopefully these two are right (ive included the ista description incase they are wrong).

Front Strut Top Nut - Spring strut shock absorber to support bearing - 64Nm
Front Strut Pinch Bolt - Spring strut shock absorber to swivel bearing - 45Nm

Attached is the rear suspension and subframe torque specs.

Don't suppose anyone has values for the bolts on each end of the front control arms on an E92 LCI 325i?

If you want torque specs just look it up here:

"Transmission Drain Plug - 35Nm"

That would be incorrect if you have a plastic transmission pan. On the plastic pans, 335i, the value is around 8.5 nm.

This chart shows oil pan torque as 10nm... I know that is not correct for e9x 335i cars. The specs on that model is 8nm + 90º for small bolts and 8nm + 180º for longer bolts uniting the pan with the transmission bell housing.
