Pulley tightening torques N62

Hi everybody.
Iam changing the water pipe with the collapsible one from AGA and the valve stem seals (also AGA). At this stage I am also changing the coolant related parts.
My question is what is the tightening torque of the main tensioner and the tightening torque of the idler pulley?
The bolt of the tensioner is a 8.8 16mm bolt (M10) which normally has 50Nm torque spec. The idler pulley is the same exept it's a T50 torx head.
I read conflictual info about the torque spec, the value ranging from 22Nm to 35Nm and as I said earlier, the standard spec for those bolts is 50Nm which now seems high.

Any help greatly appreciated

As an N62 owner, I'm curious about your situation and the process.

Did you get the coolant leak or the valve guide leak?

How was the job to do?

Miles on your X?

I did both and more. I still have a few things to do. I will start a new post about this and maybe a few pointers.
My X had almost 100 k miles. Smoked like an old smokehouse.

I'm just north of 90k miles, so this is of interest to me. Thanks!
