The recent thread you mention is the first time in 7 years that I've seen someone post about this in the n54 forum. Not saying it doesn't happen, just a reminder (possibly to myself!) to keep perspective.

The last time I snapped a bolt was a rear brake rotor bolt 8 years ago - at more than 50 ft pounds! I misread the torque settings and didn't realize the rears were supposed to be torqued different than the fronts.

This is a truly simple DIY, just make sure you have the right tools, correct metrics, and know how much to tighten, or what the torque specs feel like (practice on another bolt).
