For the record, I have a 2011 E93 328i with 143k miles. I’ve been plagued with jumping, rough idle, and misfire codes for a while now. The shops all say the same thing: replace coils and spark plugs should solve the problem. After performing this maintenance with OEM parts, I was still plagued...

I have a 2009 328i, obviously with the N52. I bought the car in the summer and don't know when the plugs and coils have last been changed and I have been having rough start ups and rough idle, so I think it's time to change them plugs and coils. What is the best brand for this NGK or Bosch. This...

I've noticed that in the last year or so my mileage has dropped by a few MPG. My 2016 328i 6-speed has 110,000 miles on it and the spark plugs have, to my knowledge, never been replaced. I spoke to one mechanic who said that it's not likely that weakening spark plugs would be a reason for...

Hey Guys, i am changing my spark plugs on F32 (435xi) 2014AWD with JB4 installed. I heard lot of people mention that the gap need to be less then with the OEMplugs should have. Some threads have posted that it should be 0.22 and some said 0.23 all the way to 0.20 and now I am wondering if...

I have an 02 e39 (540i). The torque spec for the spark plug from the service manual says:18 ft. lbs But the spark plug (Bosch) says 21 ft.lbs on it for torque. Which one is correct. Until now I was assuming that the torque will depend on the vehicle, but it looks like it depend on the park...

Hello everyone, Car: BMW 328i 2013 Convertible I've been trying to figure out the reason for my car misfires. I've tried a few things however they come back after a couple of weeks or months. Current behavior: Misfiring when accelerating, more noticeable when going uphill. The check engine...

Hello all!!! So... I bought a 2015 M135i in August which I've fallen in love with, but I've got abit of an issue that needs working out. The car had a full service in July including spark plugs. I had a misfiring issue in November and the spark plugs got changed along with coil 3. Now, 3 weeks...

My automatic 2002 325i shakes when idling. Popped the hood and saw the whole engine shaking. Doesn't matter if it's in drive, park, or neutral. Goes away immediately when moving or when I just rev the engine in park or neutral. Turning on the AC tends to make it worse. So far I've replaced all...

I know there are some threads on this topic but my issue seems unique. I have a previous thread related to this that I will put below. I am only reposting some info because my original post issue has changed. Need some extra eyes. Looking for some help because I have one day left before I have...

I need your help and advice. My 7 recently seems to be a trouble pit. The check engine light has been turning on/off. Now it's on constantly. Today the car is shaking, feels like it wants to shut off and theres no acceleration. I shut off the car for about 30 min and now the car seems ok...

Hi Just in March 2017 I had a full service done by bmw i.e oil change, spark plugs, micro filter and air filter. Now as I understand it, the parts on this should be under warantee for atleast a year. In July I had an issue with an engine that was a manufacturers fault (was a thread I...

My 2009 128i convertible is coming up on 100k miles so I figure it's time to change the plugs. I checked getbmwparts and the OEM plugs are $16.25 (each?). Does anyone have recommendations on replacement plugs? Should I absolutely stick with BMW plugs or are there cheaper plugs which are just as...

Hello, I have a 2006 330i e90 BMW. I just wanted to document what happened to me with my car so that it may help others in the future. So here goes... One day I was driving from work to home, roughly 20 miles and I got home, walked inside, came back out, turned my car on, and all of sudden my...

I received the dreaded drivetrain malfunction warning the other day. I had noticed some hesitation here and there but didn't think much about it. I pulled over, restarted the car and it went away. A couple of days later it returned and did not go away. I pulled the code and it was P0308. I...

Isn't it fun when you go to two different dealers and they each find something completely different wrong with your car, not mentioning what the other found wrong? Anyway...one of them is telling me my spark plugs are up for changing. The other didn't even mention them. However, months ago I...

I have a 2006 BMW 330i. I changed all my spark plugs today and found oil in my #3 and #4 spark plug chambers. About a shot of oil in each. How could this happen? What could the problem be and what should I do??
