  1. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    e46 330i had it for 12+ years and I can't remember ever changing the spark plugs. I only do about 6000 per annum. It's just done 144,000 miles and runs perfectly, no issues, starts easy, good fuel consumption. So do I change the plugs or leave them alone on the basis that modern plugs just run...

  4. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    OK first of all I apologize if my terminology is not 100% accurate as I am not a mechanic. So I was driving my 2009 323i on the 401 highway in Toronto on the way home Friday night, felt a vibration and then the engine light came on. I pulled off the first exit at which point the car definitely...

  6. General BMW Discussions
    Installed new plugs, 5 of the 6 plugs went in fine. Number 3 cylinder however doesn’t tighten up as normal, once i get the ratchet on it to nip it up the spark plug feels like it simply hits a dead end or a ‘wall’ and there is no feeling of crushing of the collar or any flex in rotation /...
  7. E36
    I have an E36 320i with manufacturing date 28/97, the engine started to get rough while idling and it has erratic engine running. Upon checking I noticed that one ignition is not firing. I replaced the ignition coil and spark plug but to no avail. Further checking shows it seem that ECU is not...
  8. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E21
    Spark plug change on the M43 1.8 engine on the E36. Had a look on the internet and couldn't find any guides for this particular engine - relatively simple task, however if you don't know you don't know! Tools required: Socket handle with extension Long 16mm socket (preferably with rubber...
  9. BMW Garages and Parts Retailers
    I have a BMW 318i 1995cc 2001. Apparently there are different spark plugs for my model. Is there a way to tell what is right for my engine without taking out the old spark plugs as they might not be the correct ones in there if at the last service the garage did not do the job.

  12. BMW 5 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 5 Series
    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, it’s highly likely to be, but this is the first petrol engined car I’ve owned in about 20 years. My last was a 1989 1.8 Ford Sierra Sapphire so things have moved on a pace since. Are coil packs a service item? If I’m changing my plugs do I need to...

    Just dropped a M52B28 (1995 engine from an auto convertible) into my manual 1993 saloon, The car is cranking but not sparking and not injecting fuel (fuel at rail) tried a second crank sensor from a known working vehicle and that didn't rectify it, don't really know where to go with it. Any...
  14. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E21
    Hi all, New to the forum, I bought an E30 318i convertible in the summer and it has stopped at idle while parking, then refuses to restart.

    Hi guy's. Great website. I'm a new member and this is my first post. I have oil in No3 sparkplug hole causing misfire. I have removed the valve cover and need to access the plug tube. Do I have to remove the Valvetronic carrier to do this. I assume I do. Can I get some guidance on how to do...
  18. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hey folks, Quick question, I'm checking out my spark plugs and noticed they are NGK R5 plugs with BMW printed on them. When you buy replacement plugs from a BMW parts department, would they also have BMW on them? What I'm trying to say is, are these likely to be the original plugs from...
  19. Auto Electrical Forum
    Hi, I recently bought my 1985 635csi and it has no spark but the injectors are working. I have voltage to the coil and replaced it with one that is known to work and this did not fix the problem, the person I bought it off said he had the ecu out and sent it off for testing so I don't think this...
