WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2018 BMW M6, 2018 BMW 650i xDrive, 2018 BMW 650i, 2018 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2018 BMW 640i. 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.
Use the blind rivet nuts and bolts supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only!
- 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. See 41 00... REPAIR SOLUTION FOR STRAIGHT SHANK/HEXAGON RIVET NUT .
- Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with sealant D1 (risk of corrosion). See 41 00... OVERVIEW OF CONSUMABLES (4.0 Sealant).
