BMW seems to have changed from the E-Torx to the internal Torx head style mid way through production.
I rounded and eventually snapped the head off the E-Torx on one of them; no amount of heat/penetrating oil/impact with an extractor socket would budge it. I ended up removing the knuckle and drilling/backing it out with a left hand drill bit. Managed to save the threads thankfully. New ones went in with nickel antisieze.
