The truth is...even the BMW engineers, with their TTY spec, cannot guarantee 100%. The science just says that it's the most likely outcome.
None of us can hide from physics, but even our understanding of it, is really only in it's infancy.
But we've become pretty good predictors.

I don't care whether folks replace the bolts or not or if they decide to use a different fastener.
My input is not what is the right course of action. It has always been about what is known and/or considered when making the decision. What is not known is the reason BMW chose to use a particular bolt in that application. IMO without the basis for the BMW decision any other conclusion is flawed. That doesn't mean a decision to go another route is a bad one but it does mean it is a conclusion without the knowledge of a critical piece of information from BMW.
