3.1 Bonding in conjunction with repair elements (expanding elements)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Repair elements are special shaped parts to connect new parts with the body. e.g. Partial replacement of engine support.
The repair elements will spread when a special bolt is screwed in. The repair elements will thereby connect flush to the corresponding profile shape.
Ensure there is a sufficient gap between the adhesive and the threads for the expander screws (approx. 10-15 mm).
Spread adhesive over the repair element with a spatula up to the height of the ridges.
