F30/F32 Suspension Torque Settings

I noticed that the 435 has different size fasteners for the front suspension. Does anyone know where I can find the proper torque settings for the front and rear suspension on a F30/F32?



I am planning to install new springs and would like to use the proper torque settings when I put it back together.



Also, just a note for those who plan to swap out the springs on a 435, the top strut nut is 18mm, not 21mm like on the E90/E92. Another changes is that the strut assembly is fastened to the body inside the engine compartment with three bolts instead of 3 nuts like the previous design.







Thanks!

Fitting 19x8.5 ET 18. 225/35 or 235/35?

Looking at buying a set of wheels that have the above specs on the front. This is on a E92 coupe. I am lowered on H&R Sport springs. Can I get away with a 235/35 up front with that width and offset, or should I not even bother and go with 225/35?



Right now they have 245/35 tires up front, which I am almost positive will cause problems given the lower height and immense suspension travel.

BMW nondealer service in Northern VA recommendaton

Does anyone have any recommendations for service excluding a BMW dealer? My 08 M3 is out of the BMW service coverage plan and I am debating between bring it to the dealer vs finding something cheaper at a decent independent shop. The car has no issues except routine maintenance and reseting the vehicle service reminders in the iDrive. Thanks for any suggestions.




E90 HID Kit Coding

Is it recommended to code any values after installing a HID kit as the new angel eye bulb?



If so what values and what other suggestions from people who have done this before. Thanks in advance!




Rear suspension clank

I've been doing extensive searching online. Not sure anyone has the exact same noise... but over speed bumps my rear suspension makes a noise as if you banged two dinner plates together. Clank. Like metal plates or something. Help? Other than that it's squeak and noise free. 56k, '07 base model, all stock. 18" 313's.
