Technical manuals were written with liability in mind. This bolt discussion is somewhat dumb simply b/c the crazy (paranoid) engineers wrote that sentence of "replacing the bolts" and not-too-smart people follow it like the Bible. Remember "it takes 2 to tango" and I am not part of this tango.
Insulting others reflects on ones own character.

It is not what anyone's opinion is, the question that needs to be answered is why does BMW states not to use the bolts and what happens if you do. You think it is paranoid engineers and nothing happens. But that is an assumption without any basis in fact so you really don't know. It's just that simple.
