Did a search here and all over the web and didnt get an answer I was satisfied with. Can someone please tell me the size of the star socket I need to snug up my oil pan bolts on my '10 E92 328 N52 engine, and what is the bolt torque?

Thanks so much!

It's an E-torx but I don't know the socket size.

No steel screws/bolts may be used due to the threat of electrochemical corrosion.
A magnesium crankcase requires aluminium screws/bolts exclusively.
Aluminium screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are released.
