Hello. I've been browsing the internet for these 3 bolts (1 on top, 2 in front of radiator) torque spec that mounts the two cross bars in front of the radiator on my 535i. I suspect these appear to be a one time torqued type of bolts, but I just can't find anything on the web. If anyone knows, please kindly share that with me.
Thanks in advance.

These are just straightforward torqued bolts and not of the stretch - single use type.

Torque to 19Nm.

Thanks for your input. I checked with the dealer and although they couldn't tell me the torque that goes on them, they did say that these are steel bolts and are reusable...

I don't see reason why would you want to torque just use common sense with bolts and nuts.
Before I get blasted from opposition yes I know its Very important to torque most of the bolts and nuts on car, but bolt holding radiator not so much.

That screw is for the front support from the chassis leg to the steel plate above the radiator and not the radiator itself. We have access to these torque settings for most screws and bolts on the car and many have torque wrenches so nothing to lose. And it makes me feel good using the right tools for the job
