They are being reused for a number of reasons. Chief being expense, but secondarily you have availability.
Members considering reuse or not only have to read this thread. Though increasingly they are going to have to wade through these type of posts in order to find the data points provided. It is not necessary to post BMW's position each time a data point is added. We realize you will never see not changing the bolts as acceptable practice and are okay with it. Certainly not trying to convince you of anything.

This has nothing to do with what I do and I am not defending it. Even if I reused them I would be saying there is no proof it is OK to do so and all the rest of the crap about sample size--blah blah blah. I would love to hear information that passes the facts check. I don't have a clue what is right. As I've said, my guess is it doesn't matter. I don't want to be right and the primary reason for my posts is hoping that someone will post new informations or preferably specs and reason for the bolts used and a low cost option that is exactly the same. Seems clear folks aren't reading the thread or they wouldn't feel the need to ask the question again so any input is all new to them, not repetition. You or "we" are wrong if you think I will never change my mind. That's offensive.

- Let's say BMW says nothing about these bolts, the best way to approach this problem is: is there any scientific evidence to support replacing the bolts every time? If not, re-use the bolts.
- To me, these bolts are no different than the wheel lugs. - This has been a boring thread to be honest...re-use the bolts and move on...
