Need Help Locating Bolt Size!

hyperspeed · 03-29-2012, 02:32 PM

This is for the E93 Rear Support Brace / Subframe
It's the bolt that goes in the hole circled here.

I just threw on my AE Performance Exhaust but it's hitting the brace, so I need to add a spacer to the brace, thus needing a longer bolt (short of taking the bolt off).

I need the bolt size/thread/length.. anyone who can shed some light on this would be greatly appreciated!

I've been digging through realOEM and bmwfans.info for the past hour and haven't been able to find it.

The closest I got was #5 on this image.. but I don't even know if that's the same welding nut used in the photo.

i had to get one for my e92 335 for the same type of brace.
it isn't exactly the same but it is worth a try.
M12 1.50 threading, my length was 35mm, grade 10.9 (but grading doesnt really matter you can get an 8.8 if needed)

FYI realOEM did not have the diagram that was needed for some reason.
