Torque Specs for Strut Tower Braces???

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the bolts on the strut tower braces?

I've only been able to find spec for nuts but mine uses bolts.

Since the E84 is so similar to the E90, I found this thread to be useful:

So I've always aimed for:

Center bolt - 100 NM (74 Ft-Lb) + 100º
Tower bolts - 40 Nm (30 Ft-Lb) + 60º

BUT, if I'm reusing the bolts, I pretty much skip the additional angle for fear of breaking them.

Thanks! Didn't quite get to 60deg on the tower bolts but they are plenty snug. The center bolt gave me issues and I ended up a few ft-lb shy w/ no stretch. I'll check them after driving a bit to see if they stayed snug.
