I research these specification from bmw at various places and created this spreadsheet. It covers just about all models. The X5 is 105 ft/lbs of torque when checking or tightening lug bolts. I have attached the PDF if you guys want it.

Just a little piece of data but might be helpful. I took my wheels off to ceramic coat them and wanted the exact specs to put them back on.

Thanks man!!

Thank you but manuals for 2015 X5, 2019 X5 and 2024 X5 show 101 ft/lbs of torque (not 105 ft/lbs). I know it's a minor difference but.....

My Canadian manual shows 140Nm or 103ftlbs.
I usually tighten mine to 105ftlb though when I swap between summer/wheels

My Canadian manual has 101ftlbs or 140Nm. Though last week when I put on the winter tires, I couldn't find the specs in the manual so went with 105.

But if you do the math, 140Nm is 103.3lb-ft. So here I would say bmw manual has a typo at best, or bmw marketing document writer cannot so simple math.

Good catch. Dealing with a few technical writers in the past, I found they didn't always have a good grasp of the subject they wrote about. Perhaps at one point the torque was 101 and then changed to 103 and the writer didn't think of the conversion.
