Normally, I would recommend that you use a torque extender to get under there. However, the factory bolts require 35Nm (I think) and then a further 90deg (I'm sure) as these are the BMW micro-encapsulated screws. You could torque them and then put a mark and use a good 6-point box-end wrench to get as close to 90 as you can. I hope you work out.
I got around this by sourcing good-quality 10.9 flanged fasteners and simply torquing them to 35Nm which is what BMW does on pretty much every other car.
