Torque setting for brake rotor retaining bolt?

Lame-o simple question but.. does anybody know what the torque setting is supposed to be on the 5mm retaining bolt for the rotors?

The M3 MadRussian web site instructions say 16nm for an M3. What is that in foot pounds?

The call for 110nm on the caliper guide bolts, and I know that these are supposed to be 22ft/pounds. So 16nm must be pretty light on the torque.

Gearing up for a brake rotor and pad job this weekend.

Just tighten it, torque is not crucial on this part. Install the wheels and it will be impossible for the rotor to come loose.

use some anti-seize on the thread. you don't need to tighten much either. maybe 10 to 15 ft/lb.
