M12 10.9 bolt 100Nm (74 ft-lb) + 90 degree

This would have been super handy when we installed my coilovers

Great Idea!! Anyone have the specs for the steering wheel shaft nut? This seems to be a pretty popular project.

If you are talking about the 16mm Hex bolt holding the steering wheel on the steering column, set the Torque Wrench for 46ft/lb to re-tighten the bolt up to BMW spec.
