The other option is to reuse old bolts. I expect many members here to disagree, but I asked few local BMW shops here in Maryland, and all of them just reuse these bolts. I reuse them myself after careful inspection. They assembled without a problem and I hope they will perform well is case of collision. By inspection i meant to check them the same way mechanics check head bolts - using caliper to insure that they were not stretched.
