The valve cover bolts are a unique component specific to only valve covers on S65 as they incorporate a rubber bushing and shoulder. It makes sense that they would come with a specific torque application.

BMW has specific instructions for a multitude of things that hobbyist DIY's overlook or disregard. But 10nm is typically considered safe for M6 hardware.
