Where to get OEM spark plugs from?

Bagelfast · 08-09-2009, 02:02 PM

Alright well i am changing my spark plugs next week. Got the tool (socket) for it and the Tq wrench.

Few questions,
Where is the best/cheapest place to order OEM spark plugs, couldnt find it on tischer site?(link to tischer site for the plugs if anyone has it)

Do the plugs have to be gapped? or do i buy them and just toss them in?

What is the exact ft. lb. the plugs have to be tq'd to? i have seen a couple numbers and NM numbers aswell.

Try Tischer... www.getbmwparts.com

I think the Tischer price is only 20% off; there are other vendors that sell them for around $12.50. Might be helpful for those that have recently bought plugs to post their price paid.

i paid $139 for 12 plugs + $18 for international shipping (from USA to Taiwan). that is $11.58 per plug... good deal!

scottp999 · 09-13-2009, 09:50 PM

Thanks Joe. I ordered a set. From Tischer the plugs plus the socket is $140 + Shipping. The plugs from the site you suggested are $60 including shipping and you can pick up the plug tool for 14.95 + 9.95 shipping here: http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/ES13...aign=postreply

I will pay $85 over $140 + shipping any day.

Thanks again!

Do you have to gap the plugs or do you just install and go?

Plug and play

MFKN3 · 09-14-2009, 12:47 AM

23Nm or 17lb torque.

The coils require a bit of force to yank out, just use a screwdriver through the hole and pull up

NM_BMW · 09-14-2009, 01:54 AM

Sick find... I plan on doing this here on my next oil change.

^^Yes. And you can use the coil pack to pull out and seat the plug.
