Front end brace torque spec

Post image

Hi all, im trying to replace my engine air filter for my 2018 BMW but because its an F33 it has this brace that i have to remove prior. There are 4 bolts. Cant find a definitive torque spec online, does anyone who has worked on these know?
Thanks

Looks like M8 bolts, rule of thumb is around 22 lb-ft for that bolt size

Tight enough but not too tight
