The X5 uses a two piece lug bolt that incorporates a spacer wash-
er and features anti-corrosion coating. The tightening torque on the
lug bolts is 130Nm +/- 10Nm. Advantages of using the spacer
washer include:
• Longer expansion length for the bolt.
• A better fit to the wheel
• The spacer washer is fixed to the wheel when tightening and
the lug bolt turns relative to it.
