John,
here is a link to TIS that says all models with M10 8.8 - 45nm. What do you think 22 or 45?

Well admittedly I had not considered the diff busing. load yes, but its still only m10 bolts and there are like 10 of them? Each to their own. unless you have a tiny torque wrench designed for those small numbers then the larger torque wrenches are too innaccurate and you risk breaking the bolts anyway.

there are 8 bolts. I think cover would crack way before bolts will brake and 45nm isn't such a small torque. M10 bolts are not small at all. M12 (next size up) is the largest bolt in the whole suspension setup. I think the largest bolt in e30 is M14 (2 rear subframe mounting bolts)
