Factory Torque Values

[decoupe]

Is there a list of torque values in the Blue Books or on a web site somewhere? Does anyone have a list they can post/share. If not I guess I can't go too wrong using the 2002 values - I have a complete list from 2002faq.com.

The CD's available from BMW have torque values and engine specs.

If you are patient I can send you a file next week.

Blue Repair Manuals

In the Blue Repair Manuals they have torque specs for each section.
engine, transmission .....

If you could give me specifics I could scan the page you need.

Tighten till it strips, then back off a 1/4 turn. Apply LocTite as necessary...... : )

Abman - My immediate need is the intake and throttle body assemblies.

Sfdon - patient also works if you have something more comprehensive.

Jel - In my experience the head snaps off before the thread strips. Then you have to carefully mould a new head out of JB Weld and then you don't need LocTight. Pretty slick fix, eh?

For starters:

M30 technical information is available as part of this forum in PDF format: http://www.e9-driven.com/Public/Library/BMW-E9-Manual/pages/en/11.html#refertoc

Autobooks is/was also available in the technical info section. Link appears down or no longer viable. (See upper heading of this page "Tech Info") : http://www.e9coupe.com/tech.htm

Other sites/bulletin boards dealing with M30 engines (as opposed to M10 engines) exist too. e.g., E24, E12 etc.

Specs

I myself use the E3 edition of the Haynes manual. No longer in print but available from some sellers...autobooks.com comes to mind...

Thanks to all for the links and advice. I have a project in mind for a summary of torque settings.
