You should get authentic custom made BE-ARP bolts. They should have a unique stamp on the head. IIRC, they will be stamped "BE Sx5."

One question, was that OEM bolt used or new? Quote:

Just received my order from Bimmerworld for bolts and bearings.
7/16 12 point seems to fit perfectly. I don't have an 11 mm 12 point to try. |

It's definitely a metric head for the bolt. It should be an 11mm 12-point. So please get yourself a proper set of metric 12-point sockets. I've seen rod bolts get stripped out by using the wrong socket (SAE vs MM).

Just looking at Google, and yea it says 7/16" is 11.1mm, I bet that's about the size of an 11mm socket is anyway?
