• Don’t get any on the face of the body that holds the wheel onto the hub- last time I went to a track day they lectured us all on the perils of paint and wheel bolts (this was spring, a lot of the cars there had been freshly painted/just come from winter fettling) as the paint melts/softens with heat from the brakes and what was a bolt done up to 130Nm at the start of the session isn’t by the end.

    I changed all the wheelbolts on the 850 just before handing the keys to NH as they’d got a bit rusty and looked shit, went for Volvo OEM which was the same price as BMW have quoted you.
