70-77 Nm , 52-57 lb. ft. , that torque value came out of the R65 owners manual, the BMW shop manual doesn't have a value for it.

my rear mounting was loose!!! Shocked

My front mounting was bent at the right side, maybe due to a dive I took in 2007.

greetings from a not foggy nor damp north - sun is shining and it is a warm day ie. >15C (60F)
