Changed my 2008 328i spark plug
Just changed my 08's plugs yesterday. Fairly straightforward, followed the 330i DIY. I do want to note that you do not have to get a bunch of extension bar's like every DIY out there says you need. I just used a 10" bar for all 6 plugs and used a different socket to unscrew the brace and move it out the way (SEE PIC 1). More than enough room to work with. Just remember to put it back later
![]() Background info Original Plugs: Bosch FR7NPP332 New plugs: NGK LZFR6AP11GS Price: <$60 shipped I decided to change it because I felt some rough idle and I was a little concerned about my decreased MPG. At almost 60K miles, it wouldn't hurt to replace it anyway. I also replaced the air filter and did the charcoal delete (I actually did this a day before I changed the plugs. I drove around and didn't notice a difference...but less obstruction the better right?!). After sacrificing the 600RR to a 70 degree New England weather and instead took the car, I have to say it felt a lot snappier. Perhaps my plugs are FUBAR, but whatever it is, I'm glad I spent the time and effort to do some preventative/regular maintenance OIL COMING UP IN 500 MILES!
