Hey guys new to this forum, I was going to change my spark plugs out, but turned out they kept spinning, not sure if i was not completely getting the socket on top of the plug or ?????

Your 335i needs a special spark plug socket, a 14mm 12-point thin-walled one. The plug wells angle in towards the engine at the bottom making the space impassible for sockets with thicker walls. The socket will sit just on top of the plug and spin as you have described.

Be wary when selecting the socket. I bought one which was advertised specifically for the 335i and even this one had walls which were too thick to make it all the way in.
