This gasket (well, seal, technically) fit my 1995 740i just like the stock part. I couldn't find torque values for the throttle body to intake bolts, but BMW says that M6 fasteners should be 10 Newton-meters (that's about 88 inch-lbs), and the M6-25 bolts felt about right at that setting with some anti-seize applied.I also replaced the six throttle body bolts with stainless socket-head cap screws, because two of the torx screws stripped while removing (I'm pretty sure it had never been apart, and the bolts were somewhat corroded). Be prepared with some small vice grips and a bolt extractor.
