    I've seen enough snapped in half head bolt washers that I'd replace them just for peace of mind.

      I haven't. Ever. Have you ever seen how thick the M20 head bolt washer is?

              Get. The. Washers. The right ones. They're reasonably high- tech.

                  My local bnw dealer wants $4.80 per washer guys! And I think from memory there is 12 or 14 of them I'd rather spend that money elsewhere on the car. Anyone know a good online shop to buy them from?
