BMW-WSM7 §34 Factory “end cap” 40–45 N·m, printed identically on the 12.77 and ’79 sheets. The widely-circulated “43–47 ft-lb” matches the factory figure only if read as N·m — a units mix-up in the secondary sources this guide previously followed. At an actual 43–47 ft-lb you are 40% over.

This is the book's general row. In the book, pick your model and year and this figure resolves to your machine, with the one-page torque sheet, the job pages and the printable booklet.
