Torque Specs on the 3

My Dad and I were rotating the tires on my 3 for the first time and couldnt find the torque specs on the lug nuts in the owners manual, If someone knows I would appreciate it.

Thanks, John

I think 80 foot pounds is about right...i usually dont use a torque wrench, just my calibrated elbow...just torque em till their tight, then check em after the first 50-100 miles. 500,000+ miles and 6 cars/trucks and ive never had one come loose or strip one out!

Thanks,
I know but my father insists on doing everything by the specs.
Incidently we guessed based on the protege that the torque would be around 80.
