Torque Specs

Does anyone know the torque specs for the brake caliper bolts both front and rear on these cars? What about a shop manual?

Rdurty2,
Do you have torque specs for the front axle spindle nut and the lower strut bolts. Are these bolts a one time use?

BMW engineers, even the manuals make my head spin. I'm glad I don't plan on wrenching much on this car. To replace a front axle, you need need to raise the engine

Double check the attached, but if I read it correctly.

Replace collar bolt and spring.
Jointing torque
210Nm
Angle of rotation
90°

Spring strut shock absorber to swivel bearing

Here is where I get it all from, has all of the service bulletins (it shows service bulletins for ALL models so don't be scared when there are over 1k listed haha), etc. Click on link and then click start.

https://onl-osmc-b2i.bmwgroup.com/os...avigation=true

Then go through the drop downs on the right to select our car. Then tightening torque button along top, then use drop down menu on left hand side to narrow things down.

Years ago when I was wrenching we never or hardy ever replace bolts and now I see this quite often. I know these bolts are torque to yield and they stretch for max holding power but what are the chances if you reuse them. What are the thoughts here on this forum and is there a BMW tech working at a dealer say.
