Torque wrench setting for lug nuts info
My old ZHP was 88 but no clue on the X2. I read somewhere 110, is that accurate? TIA

Found this:
https://www.wheel-size.com/size/bmw/x2/2020/ So apparently 120Nm or roughly 88.5 lb-ft. I guess it's the same as on my ZHP

Just a little food for thought that definitely goes against what a lot of people say... I used to try to follow the torque specs, but I've had lugs and nuts come loose at the 90 lb/ft so I'm generally at 100-110. I have a habit of doing it by feel and going back to check it with my torque wrench just to hear the click. Of course my torque wrench could be crap.. I treat it properly. I have had this conversation with my cousin whom I let use my tools/quickjack. Almost every season when changing tires he goes with his 80 lb/ft setting from Honda. I did cross check with my own torque wrench (he bought his own) and we're pretty much spot on. However I tell him to A) check it when he gets home and B) Check it a few weeks later. He isn't too embarrassed to call me and tell me that in both cases his are loose again and had to retorque it. I know maybe going to 110 is "too much" but I've had at least two wheels come too close to coming off in the past (10 yrs or so ago) and I just am happy as a clam the way I do it. The last time my e60 did this I stopped on the side of the road to tighten it, then drove one exit and tightened it again.. and then a third time I just gave it a good beating. It probably wasn't sitting right from turning on the highway.. but still.. ugh.

BMW switched over to M14 size lug bolts (across most all platforms a number of years ago) and the torque spec went up accordingly versus the older cars with M12 size bolts. The correct torque spec is 140 N-m which translates to 103 ft-lbs.
