Seems like between being British but also a BMW, fasteners and dimensions are a weird mix of the two.

Starter bolts are not metric thread and neither are the oil pan bolts on a Bosch Engine.

haha, yeah... 9/16" ...putting the driveshaft back on the other day is what led me to wonder about this. When I used to work on BMW, EVERYTHING was metric. I didn't even own an SAE set of any kind for the longest time. So far I've encountered a pretty weird 70/30 split, metric vs SAE, working on these discos. Always an adventure! haha
