Here are the torque specifications from the BMW ISTA, note that most of the torques require a jointing torque followed by an additional torque angle as these are torque-to-yield bolts, so the bolts need to be replaced:
Front struts
Cross-brace screw - 56Nm +90° (replace screw)
3x strut bearing screws (if M8 thread) - 30Nm +90° (replace screws)
3x strut bearing screws (if M10 thread) - 56Nm +90° (replace screws)
Pinch bolt - 44Nm +90° (replace bolt and nut, tighten down with suspension in normal position)
Shock absorber to top bearing - 64Nm (replace nut)
Rear
Shock absorber to camber arm - 100Nm +90° (replace bolt and nut, tighten down with suspension in normal position)
Camber arm to wheel carrier - 165Nm (replace nut)
Torque Conversions:
30Nm - 22ft lb
44Nm - 32ft lb
56Nm - 41ft lb
64Nm - 47ft lb
100Nm - 74ft lb
165Nm - 122ft lb
