Hello fellow enthusiasts! I decided to replace my intake manifold gaskets as my e63 has a loud whistling sound when the engine warms up. Upon removing the IM, I decided to open it up to clean the inside and paint. Now I need help with the torque specs on the throttle body and the intermediate plate when reinstalling. Also I would like to ask if I can reuse the bolts or do I need new ones? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you're talking about the m156 IM maybe attached will help you. None of those bolts are crazy tight and should be around 10-20 nm. Don't go nuts as the IM may crack.
When I opened mine to clean it, I reused all the bolts, beside the ones that hold the IM to the engine - those are one time use.

Thank you very much! That is what I am looking for. Will put it back together tomorrow morning.

NP. When I did mine I used this forum (there’s a thread somewhere) along with YouTube videos from Tasos.
