I think it is about time to change my spark plugs, what is the torx setting on to change them? Also- I have heard that a certain kind of bosch plugs (platnium maybe?) are not good for the e36. So any that you would recommend? Thanks for the help :D |

According to BMW parts dept. 1-hand tighten plugs and then on quarter turn with wrench. 2-NGK instead of Bosch. They say Bosch caused issues and the switch was made to NGK for this motor. Car runs fine, whole process took about 10 minutes but you need a 10 inch or so extension for your socket set. Good luck. |
thanks! |
I really didnt notice much difference when switching from NGKs with 90000 miles on them to brand new bosch platinum +4s. Bosch platinums did wonders on my old car (M10) but nothing much on the M44. |
i have heard a few horror stories about the bosch platnium +4s though |
Perhaps I should go back to NGKs... |
I am ready to replace the plugs on my 95'TI myself. I just installed a Nitrous kit on the car. I've heard rumor that I should not use Multi-electrode plugs with Nitrous. Has anyone heard a similiar story? I ordered NGK plugs, and am ready to install. I am just waiting to hear back from anyone about this. Is it OK to use NGK double electrode plugs with Nitrous??? Thanks. |
Which plugs? I just replaced my spark plugs. Bought the car two weeks ago, decided to do a mini tune-up. The plugs that were in the car were NGK, and I replaced them with Bosch platinum 4's. It does seem to idle alittle rough, but it idled alittle rough before. I think it might be idling even worse now. Maybe I should go back to NGK. Eric Quote:

From my past experience: Bosch = Crap NGK = Good On A side note, does anyone know the PN for the NGK plugs. Also PN for colder plugs. I did a quick search on here and bfc, but didn't fing anything for the M44, just thought it would be some good info to have, thanks. Oh yeah, Stomp, NGK singles should work just fine with nitrous. |
Spark Plugs I threw out my NGK's, what is the model #? Quote:
|
Ive not been too happy with Bosch Platinum +4's. Barely any improvement over NGK's with 115000 miles. Ill be moving back to NGK's in the near future. |
Spark Plugs So, what is the correct spark plug (gap) setting? Also, what is the largest (tallest) tyre (tire), as in height not width, I can fit to a standard wheel on a stantard 318ti? (I had to ask the second question here because I couldn't find how to post a new question.) |
Spark plugs... Where can I purchase some NGK's, I believe I am in need of a tune up, I am quickly approaching 174,000 mi. on my ti. Also should I change my wires and coil pack? |
autozone, napa. just walk in and tell the model of your car and ask for NGK spark plug |
