BMW B58 3.0L Coilpack and Spark Plug Replacement | DIY 

After doing this job last night on my 2017 M240i I’d like to call out a few things. 1.) Don’t pull the sound deadening foam out until AFTER you have fully loosened the strut brace and preferably remove the center cowling first. I don’t get why you’d remove the foam first if your going to loosen the strut brace and remove the center cowl anyway. You will tear your foam especially if you have an upgraded hpfp. There is also a post towards the back passenger side of the engine that’s hard to see. 2.) Torque spec for spark plugs are 23NM or 17ft/lbs. 3.) Torque spec for coil packs are 8NM if you wanna really get technical. 4.) My strut brace took an E18 for all 4 bolts. No big deal as I’ve heard these bolts may vary, but just be mindful to avoid stripping the bolt. I couldn’t easily find any torque specs for the strut brace so I just went with the 30NM mentioned in this video. Can anyone confirm? This was a great, in-depth video and made this job much less daunting. Thanks.

Thank you man. How t preset the maintenance interval for spark plugs after changing them ? Same question for air filter etc ...

What torx did you use for the first things you unscrewed in the video? Towards the top bar. Also, is it safe to vaccuum clean the spark plug holes after blowing air into them? I want it to be extra clean :)

i didn't notice when you would put the sound deadening back in from this video, other than that thank you very much, getting my 440i in a couple days and gonna get this plug/coil refresh kit from your site as soon as i touch the car and can confirm it is actually reald and not a dream :D i still have the n54 plug remover thing from you guys actually and i'm hoping it is the same tool as this b58 one. i just hope to complete this with no cracked/broken/missing bits. can you leave any of the cowl off or sound deadening off or is it all functional on this car?

The proper torque for the spark plug depends on thread pitch. M12x1.25 = 23NM M14x1.25 = 30NM I believe 23NM is the most common.

How many total types of inverted torx bolts?

Plugs should be torqued to 23nm

You should mention the sizes of the sockets

Amazing vid! But isn’t the coils need to be programmed?

awesome video, liked and subbd

my OEM replacement spark plugs from BMW say on the box to torque to 23NM, this is for the B58 engine on a 2017 440i. Wondering where the 30nm came from in this video??

Wonderful Video! I accidentally mashed a bit too hard on one of the clips (7:00) and I have been trying to find that replacement online with no luck. Any idea what I can do to patch this?

Why the Beru plugs in the video but then the NGK plugs when you’re looking at the wear on them? Aren’t Bosch the OEM for the B58?

No matter how nice of a video you make, you cant convince me this is easy. The time it took you to remove the plastic i can do spark plugs on a corolla.

torque spec for ignition coil screw?

What was the yellow thing in the back, under the cover?

…and here I am complaining about all the things I have to remove doing the same for my n54. Ah gotta love the engineers at BMW.

How many miles should we replace the spark plug ?

"super easy!" LOL

OUCH!!!!! . . . Great video but torque for spark plugs is only 23nm - not 30nm Damage alert!!! Correct torque for coils is 8nm

30nm!!!! It's 23nm

you don’t need to gap them ??

“Easy diy” lol

So 4 miles of plastic , sounds cheap for a premium car? But wait ,,,,,,,,,,,,,It’s BMW plastic and it’s expensive and they make lots of it.

IT'S NOT A COIL PACK!!!!! It's a coil-on-plug. It's an individual coil, NOT A PACK!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
