You put good wheels on your E-chassis BMW. The lug bolts holding them on are the last thing anyone notices and the first thing that looks tired: rusted heads, chewed flats, a mismatched set from three different owners. Clean black bolts finish the wheel the way it should look.
These Dinan cone seat lug bolts are M12x1.5 thread at the 28mm factory length, made for BMW E-chassis cars with the 5x120 bolt pattern running wheels without spacers. Steel construction with a black zinc coating, OEM-style cone seat, sold as a set of 10.
Choosing the Right Dinan Lug Bolts for Your BMW
Two things have to match: thread size and length. Dinan's rule of thumb is that E-chassis BMWs use M12x1.5 bolts on a 5x120 pattern, while F-chassis (5x120) and G-chassis (5x112) cars use M14x1.25. There are exceptions. The F9x M5 and M8 and the F48 X1 and F39 X2 follow the G-chassis spec, and the E39 5 Series and E and F chassis X5 and X6 are not covered by Dinan's bolt range. If your car is not a 5x120 E-chassis, this is the wrong bolt.
The 28mm length is the factory length, meant for wheels mounted directly to the hub with no spacer. Running spacers? You need a longer Dinan bolt, such as the 39mm length for 10mm and 12mm spacers. Dinan part number D220-0008. Sold by AutoTecknic, an authorized Dinan dealer.

Installation Notes
A standard wheel bolt swap you can do with a lug wrench and a torque wrench. Check that your wheels use a cone seat before installing.
- Confirm your car is an E-chassis 5x120 BMW with M12x1.5 bolts and that you are not running spacers.
- Swap bolts one at a time with the wheel on the ground, or remove the wheel and replace all five.
- Thread each bolt in by hand first to avoid cross-threading.
- Tighten in a star pattern and torque to your BMW's factory wheel bolt specification.
- Re-check torque after the first 50 to 100 miles.
