I was planning to reuse both -- alum bolts (marked blue) but broke one of them. I was using my dial torque wrench and it broke at running torque. My guess is all the heat mad it weak. I picked it up at the dealership and did not save the part #. The bolt needs to be alum to eliminate dissimilar corrosion. As far as other VC bolts -- I just bought an assortment and reused many. The dealership techs told me that they only replace the ones in the corners + and bad looking ones. All mine looked good. However, being alum bolts the do stretch during torque. They (BMW) did suggest that I use Hondabond sealant. All went well and no leaks. Thanks for all the forum help -- could not own a BMW without this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
