FYI, anyone wondering: front strut brace bar bolts are M10 using 15mm socket and has thread pitch of 1.5 with length of 47mm.
Anyone who needs rethreading kit should buy the EZ Lok 650-10 M10-1.5 set. You will need to use 2 sleeves to cover the length of the entire bolt. They should assemble back to back just fine.

X5 strut bar threads as well as many other models usually get stripped due to mechanic error in torque application...and if you have to deal with it...this is the most permanent. Forget helicoil kits...they are one time use only.
