BDR/E36 Suspension Torque Specs from Bentley

[Mark Brye]

FYI, here are some torque specs from my E36 manual. Because the BDR uses E36 suspension/rear end components, I would think they could be related to the BDR... All numbers are ft/lbs. Some of the list may not be applicable to BDR so use caution as these are E36 torque specs. Maybe Jay or Reg could chime in if any of these are in error.
