The value _is_ buried in Bentley. You'd think I could remember since it's
been only a few weeks. I recall that the spec on my '91 200q is a bit
different than the '89-90 200. Something between 25 to 30 ft-lbs I believe.
Not a trivial torque, so it's rather disconcerting when it comes loose like
that.
