Do not put Loctite on the area of threads where the Pin Drive nuts mate.

Standard torque for the BMW 12mmX1.5 lugnuts is 70-80ft lbs. For me 70-80 felt a bit high as internal wrenching lug nuts (tuner lugnuts as some call them) are notorious for stripping in the Allen key area (I have experience on that). I went snug star pattern and approx 30 ftlbs and then 60 ftlbs. There is not concentric locator hub and my concern was more a off-center walk that could cause a vibration.

Replacement pin drive nuts are avail from
Pin Lug nuts Hex head : Vintage Wheels, Mustang, Hot Rod and Muscle Car

Correct on the CCW loosen. If the breaker bar is horizontal, with the breaker bar grip pointing to the left, push down with your left hand.
