What is the lug torque setting?

Is the lug nut toque setting different for the M235i or is it 88 ft lbs like most BMW's. Did not find anything in the manual or searching.

The correct torque is 140 NM/103 ft-lbs (M14 X 1.25).

See thread ''Wheel torque specs?''

+1.. 14x1.25 requires a bit more elbow grease. We always set ours at 103-105 ft-lbs
