OOPS - Need Advice



Well I just made a mistake on my first very simple modification to my '07 Z 4 M Coupe. Thankfully my MINI mods have generally gone better. I am not a mechanical wizard.

When putting on my OEM strut tower brace I over-tightened one of the strut tower nuts and broke off one of the strut tower bolts on the passenger side:mad:

Will I be able to drive the car until I get it fixed??? Thanks for your time and assistance.

Bad thing was...not to make an excuses... but there were no instructions with torque specs included with the bar and I guessed........incorrectly. I looked in the owners manual and couldn't find it. Where would I find this kind of info? Hayes or other manual??

-Huh, thought it was in the instructions. Maybe online? I forget where/when I found out about it.
