looking at used M2c; noticed spark plugs changed at 27K mi??

vexingv · 09-28-2021, 12:55 PM

I'm currently in a 2016 M235 Xdrive and am itching to get an M2c. I saw one locally and looked at the Carfax report online. I was surprised to see that the spark plugs were changed at around 27K. I thought the spark plug interval is around 60-70K miles; should i be concerned about the early spark plug change (or perhaps if the car was tuned)?

30k interval for plugs. Thankfully the first replacement is covered under the included 3/36 maintenance. Find an indy for the 2nd replacement though as BMW dealers charge a buttload of labor for the job.

thanks. interesting that the service interval for spark plugs on the S55 is shorter compared to N55

Was it done around the 3 year mark? I believe plugs are changed at the end of the factory service plan regardless of mileage. Same with brake fluid, which is also changed at the 3 year mark.
