Stock front brake torx bolts?

[romero1990]

Hi folks..
Does anyone still have the OE brake with original hardware on it? I am rebuilding my brakes and buying the fresh bolts for good. RealOEM calls out Torx bolt.. but it looks like most of the photos/videos are showing hex bolts.... wondering if anyone can chime in on what is the right bolt to get for the front brakes.

Thanks

Do you mean the bracket/carrier bolts (P/N 34106864424)?

I'm pretty sure mine are hex, I can double-check tonight.

Also here's the original part picture (although most suppliers now show a hex bolt):

yeah.. this is the exact part# I was referring to. (34106864424). I ordered it from SF BMW and it turns out torx head type like most of the online photo. It's getting so confusing.

My 2011 has 18mm hex bolts in the front and 17mm in the rear.

Maybe they just replaced these bolts with the new torx design...

mine are hex as well. imagine that would be a very large torx bolt, if is the new design.
