Clean, dry threads. Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.Reference only. Always confirm the figure in your vehicle's owner's manual or factory service manual before tightening. Filter models

Frequently asked questions What is the typical wheel lug torque for a BMW? Across 55 BMW models it ranges from 88 to 103 lbf·ft (119–140 N·m). Torque varies by model and year, so use the table above rather than a single value.
Do all BMW models use the same torque? No. BMW uses 3 distinct torque values across the model years 2001–2025 listed here.
Do these figures apply to greased threads? Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.
