In this thread it says 80 lbs for the front ones and 40 ft lbs for the rear. Im very confused why they would be different. Also the initial post says "Front 6 and rear 2"... there are 7 bolts, not 8. This pan on the E46 uses stretch bolts and it is critical to replace them and properly torque then as it ties the front suspension together. I am not sure if this is the same with the E9X.
