Why would disc bolts be use once only?

Are they stretch bolts?
or do they think their pre treated bolts are special in some way?
Belt and braces, maybe because of the implications if one was to break because they weren't torqued correctly, maybe the BMW thread lock... I'm sure some mechanical engineering genius will tell us soon.  :D

There is no recommendation for change of bolts . They should be ok for use as many times as you like or need. They are definitely not stretched ones.

I would reuse mine but the Reprom does say to use new screws.

Yes it does just saw it myself . Called my mechanic and he sound surprised , looked at his manual (the one only mechanics have) and said it's ok to reuse them up to ten times.
