pull bars. Ricky, I have a 2010 535i and am interested in installing the M5 pullbars. How many of the bolts, #15 in the diagram are required?
I assume the rear bolts, #17 (two required) are simply longer bolts that replace the existing OEM bolts. When the OEM bolt at the rear mounting point is removed, does the suspension drop down or is thare any other concern in this regard? Thanks Paul in Scottsdale Arizona ( the Strong-Strut guy)

2 bolts #15 and 2 bolts #17 also. The suspension would not drop down and just simple plug and play only.

I ordered #16 Hex Bolt With Washer - Pack Of 10 M8x35-U1 ECSTuning #: 2538306 Mfg#: 07119905533KT $7.00 Pack of 10.
I'm sure these are longer than the four stock Hex bolt with washer M8X18-U1-8.8 Mfg# 07119905529 on the Connecting support.
