I didn't realise that McGards made bolts with a black head. Maybe that's the answer then instead of buying the BMW version of the McGards bolts. The Ultra has the loose rotating collar around the head the Standard ones don't. And the bad news is that the bad head nuts don't come in the Ultra Variant, which I think it better protection.

I wasn't aware of the Ultra Variant model. Is that available in the US as well?

I'm not aware of the "SL" either. From what I've known in researching these for my car, there are only 27179 and 27178 available. The black #27178 does cost more, about $5 more than the silver ones.

Only the 27179 is available as the SU and SL. It should be available in the US too because as I said these things are imported into the UK from the US.
