Torquing lug nuts

[JayX5]

For those who have taken off a wheel and reinstalled it to what torque amount do you set your torque wrenches. I'm a bit unsure if it's different for the X5 but with all my other cars I've torqued them at 80 ft/lbs. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I've always done it to about 105 no problems

good question, I've wondered the same.

Yes 101 ft-lb or 140Nm.
It's in the section on changing a wheel. Page 163 of the 2004 manual. If you don't have the manual you can download a PDF on the X5World homepage.
