lb-ft of torque for front caliper bolts? (N54 E92)

Anyone know the lb-ft of torque for the front calipers on an E92? Also, I have a torque wrench but it's not very accurate in low torque, would I need to purchase another torque wrench (for low torque) to get the bolts back on correctly?

Another question too: to get leverage in that area and to fit in my torque wrench is it okay to turn the wheels when only one side is jacked up? My torque wrench wont fit in the wheel well and I'm trying to figure out how I'd do this... ultimate goal here is to take off the rotors to access the brake dust shield and fix my wheel squeak issue.

I just make it tight when i do my brakes, i don't get into all the proper torques.

But the correct torque is 81 ft-lbs

I'm an OCD perfectionist... I have to have the right torque or it will eat away at my brain every time I drive.

And thank you for the right torque.
