Took wheels off to check brakes etc and now not sure what torque wrench setting to use. Handbook says 100Nm, TIS says 120Nm, anyone know which is correct. It's a '98 523i Touring.

Thanks

TBH that's not a huge discrepancy, I'd do them to 120 just to be on the safe side with a heavy car like an E39
