Spark Plug Change

WolfGTI · 09-16-2018, 04:03 PM

Anyone do the plugs on their M240i themselves? Plug 1-5 look pretty easy - looking for tips on how you got the last plug that's almost at the firewall.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure what the proper method is concerning anti-seize on the spark plug threads.

May want to research if that is acceptable or not.

Lubrication of the threads is not allowed:

Thank you - it will be slightly different because I have a 240 - but the advice about the plastic cowl etc. will apply - thank you.
