sway bar endlink M12 torque

I just replaced mine last night and I'm in need of the assembly torque for the M12 nuts. This was my first X5 repair and I haven't yet picked up a Bentley's manual.

Thanks!

My TIS shows no M12 nut but does show 110Nm for the stabilizer link on both spring strut shock absorber and stabilizer.

Anyone with a Bentley manual care to check? The Rogue Engineering DIY camber plate indicates 100 Nm.
I'm surprised I'm having such difficult times googling and searching forums for this one.
I called my local dealer, he reported 47 lb-ft. They must have checked a different model, as this sounds right if it were M10 size. The dealership's service advisor told me that his techs don't torque stuff like this and that they torque it to "goodandtight". Wow.....we all thought we were getting grade AAAA service at the stealerships! Simply amazing. Applying incorrect torque to suspension components among all things......
