DIY 2013+ F30 N55 Spark plug change

badbread · 09-01-2016, 12:07 PM

Hi all,
I created a step by step DIY for changing the plugs out on a 2013 F30 335i

There is another post in the mechanical and maintenance forum here but it isn't exactly step by step. I thought I would document the step by step process with tons of pictures this past weekend.

It can be found 2013 F30 N55 335i spark plug change DIY step by step:

Please let me know if it's useful, anything needs to be changed, tips, etc...

Thanks!

This is an awesome step by step. Couldn't find any around that made it an easy DIY. I also have a 2013 335i so this works perfect for me lol.

Pain in the ass to have to remove all the back area to get to the 6th plug; but I'd rather spend that $450 on lap dances.

Definitely is, lots of moving stuff out of the way just for the plugs, it's not hard but definitely a PITA.

Question, what spark plug brand would you recommend for the N55? Stock, Eldorf? Heard too many versions online unsure what to choose. What interval would you recommend and should it be spark plugs+coils?

I firmly believe from what I've read here and in other places there is no reason to do anything other than the stock plugs unless you have a big turbo or some other extreme circumstances. $0.02
