Does anyone know if a replacement bolt kit is available for the 955i? My OEM bolts are starting to corrode a little and look like hell! Anodized black would look wicked! :hammer:

Thanks DEcosse, just what I was looking for. Do you have any personal experience with this type of kit?

Whatever you do, don't buy aluminum. I've got a set of black 'Tastynuts' bolts on my bike and one of them broke off as I was putting it in the case. Good thing I used a good amount of anti-seize because it would have taken drilling to get the bastard out otherwise. Get a set of titanium bolts from tastynuts or other race bolts places. I love my Ti caliper bolts and I'll eventually replace the engine bolts with Ti as well. They're much lighter than the stock slugs and much stronger.

From ProBolts Marketing spiel:
Tensile strength is 0-560Mpa; which is stronger than mild steel. 60% lighter than steel and 40% lighter than Titanium. Corrosion resistance against saltwater, road film or mild acid. Replaces all side engine casing bolts. Kit includes: copper grease lubricant

There shouldn't be any issue with using aluminum. It wouldn't hurt to run a tap through each hole first anyway in case of any prior galvanic corrosion.
& of course should be torqed appropriately - only 9Nm for the engine covers (that's ~ 6.5 ft lb)
