Recommended place to change spark plug in GVA

pc69 · 09-18-2013, 11:34 AM

I'm looking to replace my spark plugs on 335i. Do you know anyone or shop that can do it at a reasonable cost. I have it done in Brain Jessel Autohaus 2 yrs ago and to cost over $300. If someone can help me I can go get a new set of SPs. Thanks

I know a few SPs that can change your SPs ! LoL

For such a small job, you won't see a big difference in price from decent indy shop to bj autohaus.

Any Indy shop will be good, buy your spark plugs online as they are much cheaper than getting from Canadian dealers. Think they're something like $24 each when I asked last time at AutoWest. I just replaced mine, sp cost around $80 + $100 labor. Good Luck.

Just do it yourself... I did it first time myself this Monday.. Took me 30 mins tops.

CG Motorsports charged me $243+tax. This was about 15% cheaper than the dealer.

I did this at home. I can help you out if you're interested. Those prices are ridiculous for such an easy job.

+1... There are a number of people here in the area that have done this a number of times and can help you out... I was able to do this in under 45 mins the first time I did it.

For the 335i, be sure to get the spark plugs from BMW. The after market spark plugs are not of the same quality or spec from BMW. For the 328i, the aftermarket spark plugs are fine. I have read this many times. For some reason, the BOSCH spark plugs have a different spec that are sold from BMW.
