WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW Z4, 2012 BMW Z4, 2011 BMW Z4, 2010 BMW Z4, and 2009 BMW Z4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Studs welded as standard are always replaced by blind rivet bolts.
- Drill holes (0.2 mm larger than the outside diameter of the blind rivet nuts or blind rivet bolts).
- Blind rivet nuts and studs must have a special coating for anti-corrosion purposes
- It will no longer be possible to set a blind rivet nut if the drilled hole is too big. In this event, set a clip nut. This nut tightens itself automatically when screwed to the component.
- Insert blind rivet nuts or bolts and TIGHTEN DOWN WITH RIVET TOOL .
- Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with Sealant D1 (risk of corrosion).
Use the blind rivet nuts and bolts supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only!
