Danny, when I followed your E46, I used OEM bolts and I had messed up on 5 of them and had to get new ones. I learned that I should practice the 130 degree before using the new bolts. During this learning curve, I made about 3 full rotations of the engine. Like I mentioned in my other thread, this was back Nov 2017 and I've put 22k since then with no issues.

I don't think it's actually needed, but like the vanos work back in the day, I feel better rotating the engine, making sure the lube/oil touches all the rotating parts, seeing if anything touches it
In the S65 each bolt is 9 steps, so unless you use the BE-ARP bolts it requires a LOT of steps!
