changing to the winter set
I live in Alberta. The old man winter tends to show up a lot earlier than the rest of the continent. I am planning on switching the current summer tires to the winter ones. Does anyone know what the torque setting is for the wheel nuts?
Thanks in advance, |

It's in the "mobility" section of your vehicle manual, but it's 101 lbs ft / 140 Nm.
I still have about a month before I have to swap mine as well, but I no longer have access to a garage with a post lift, so I have to buy a floor jack and stands. Do you mind sharing how you're doing the swap? Never done it without a post lift. |

Stands are necessary if the car is going to be spending a lot of time in the air, and you're going to be underneath it.
For a tire swap? Just get a floor jack, and a few cheap BMW jack pads on ebay

you are right. I do not think the stands are necessary for this kind of a job. I am planning on just jacking each wheel, unbolt, swap and screw back on the bolts to the right torque. I will look into the BMW jack pads for sure. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks! I think I've been reading too much about people wanting to swap both front and back on one side at the same time, and thought that was normal.

I bought my jack pads from turner before they had them on Amazon. Works great. I don’t use stands to switch bc each wheel is only up in the air a few mins. But I’d recommend floor chocks so it doesn’t roll. Unlikely but you never know.
