Spark plugs?

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-03-2011, 08:51 PM

Does anyone know where I can buy spark plugs for a 335i locally besides the dealership?

Johnny Lin · 12-03-2011, 10:54 PM

Maybe NAPA AUTO PARTS???

m34SPD · 12-04-2011, 03:36 AM

What are the OEM ones?

hun77777 · 12-04-2011, 11:03 AM

I have a brand new set sitting in my garage which I purchased last year. Dealership ended up replaced mine for free.

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-04-2011, 08:42 PM

How much will you sell them for? Does anyone know if spark plugs are covered through extended maintenance plan?

m34SPD · 12-05-2011, 12:24 AM

Best bet would be to call and ask.

It is!! That is what I'm under.

hun77777 · 12-05-2011, 08:02 AM

i think i got mine somehwere online for like $10 or $12 a piece (or something around that price) which makes it around like $70 or something if i remember correctly. if u get one from dealer they charge like $30 a piece or something... i can get most of BMW parts 10% off for being a BMWCCA member and also get my tax exempt for being an alaskan ID holder but some parts like spark plugs are still expensive, engine oil on the otherside, is very cheap because it's like $7 a quart and i can get it like almost $6 a quart without tax...

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-05-2011, 05:53 PM

Do you know which website you got it from? Here's the thing, I get vibrations every time I push against the throttle and when I scanned my car using the Procede, I got a misfire in cylinder 4. I called the dealership up about it and they said it can be a variety of things from the fuel pump, coils, etc. (but I know it's the spark plugs because I scanned the car) Well I decided to take out the Procede because I was going to visit the dealership, now the vibrations are over :/ So it pretty much only occurs when I have the Procede in and I'm sure it's my spark plugs that needs changing. So I pretty much decided to do this myself even though I have the extended maintenance plan since I'm sure they won't change it just because I want them to

as u been told, it might or might not be a spark plugs that's causing what you experienced. it could be injector, fuel pump or some else. just because it says cylinder 4, it doesn't mean it's spark plugs, although it never hurts to change plugs (i do it mine every 20k miles for myself) and that could be a start point.

i see george already post the link... i think i got it from autohousAZ but you can just google it around...

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-05-2011, 08:33 PM

Thanks I'll give these places a try!

They used to have it on sale for less than $10 a piece. You can try to contact them and see if they still have that offer.

Johnny Lin · 12-05-2011, 10:10 PM

I think I saw Strictly BMW carries some today

hun77777 · 12-05-2011, 10:21 PM

sometimes, i really wonder where johnny lin is at...

N0OS3 · 12-06-2011, 05:42 AM

O'Reilly's... iridium plugs are not going to be cheap no matter where you go. I bought the PulStar brand from there, seems i gain +1mpg out of the deal... ^__^

jrusl12 · 12-06-2011, 01:58 PM

I need to change my plugs as well. Does anybody have a torque wrench and the socket for changing the plugs and want to help me out? My plugs are ready to be changed plus I have a DCI, DPs, and Cobb AP on order so want to get them swapped prior to adding mods. Don't really feel like spending $300-400 at a shop or dealer and haven't done that much car work so don't really want to brave it myself the first time

N0OS3 · 12-06-2011, 05:11 PM

I put Pulstar plugs in my car just before i left for deployment... takes all of 20 minutes to change them out. -requires no prior experience, so i suggest doing it yourself vs paying $200+ for a garage to do it.
If you order them through O'Reilly's like i did, they are approx $12.75 each (x6) and they come pre-set gap for what you need. If you're running 335i, you'll want .25mm gap (the instructions come with each plug) to cover the boost/turbo input.
There's also a DIY guide to changing plugs... search. Don't overthink the process...
