IMO this is the same bolt https://www.bavauto.com/bmw-bolt-11427542983 however unable to confirm if grade 10.9

Negligible but i would rather use the OEM style bolt as there is no washer. In other solutions the washer is not centred to the bolt from a balance perspective. Probably will make sweet fa difference in the bigger picture.

If any of the above is incorrect chime in.. as there are some assumptions
This is good info, thanks However, after seeing Chris@VargasTurboTech response on their bolt specs here I've decided to go with the VTT supplied bolts. I'll get my CBC installed next week.
