BMW lug nut torque overview
Most modern BMW passenger vehicles use metric M12 lug studs with torque values between 76 and 150 ft-lbs depending on chassis size. Light trucks and SUVs typically spec higher torque than sedans. Always confirm against the specific year and model — the values can change across generations even within the same nameplate.
