Just randomly read about FCP Euro and their warranty. Fantastic team, fantastic terms. Just made my first order this week for spark plugs and coils on my n55 (including the torque wrench and socket) - and I didn't even know they did instructionals. I will recommend them to everyone. Thanks, FCP Euro.

Thanks for mentioning the TSB on the corrosion. I have so much, I was worried. It did flake down onto the valves a bit but I blew it out with air. Thought my seals were bad or something but everything looked good and the coils "popped" with pressure taking them out. Weird moisture can get in. New coils seem better protected with rubber though.

@caddyak93 3 года назад

Helpful Tips: - Buy a LOCKING ratchet extension. The first time I tried this, the socket got stuck on the plug and I couldn't get it out. If I had a locking ratchet extension it would have helped. - spray some P'Blaster on your plugs and let it sit over night, if they're stuck. Mine wouldn't budge at first, but came out after soaking overnight. Thanks for the video! Super helpful

@nicholasvollaro4727 2 года назад

Just did a spark plug change on a 16' 640 N55, to get to the 5 and 6 plug you need to remove a bracket directly over 5 and 6 that holds two electrical connectors and the big plastic bracket that cradles wires going over the back of the engine to move it to remove the foam insulation as well also required to do 5 and 6. It seems that was done before you started the video. The fasteners on the pax side are a PITA. Could have referenced that.

@daslothmc3910 2 года назад

Dude thanks I’ve spent so long trying to find the other two coils

@jackmiller4510 Год назад

Yes bro I’m stumped on 5 & 6 cause they don’t even mention them in this video 😂

@rpgrayso Год назад

Thanks for the tip! Just did the same (removed bracket, just the passenger side, and foam on a 2017). Number 6 plug is a real challenge. I ended up using a short extension and a universal joint on the spark plug socket. The universal joint allows you to "fold" everything down into the spark plug well as you have very little vertical clearance.

@DTRFXGROUP 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video!!! I wonder how you did for clearance on the last two AFT spark plugs im not sure if #5&6 or 1&2 . I have a couple connectors and insulations on the way.

@jasoneyes01 3 года назад

These guys are cool at FCP Euro. Advise for newer Bosch spark plugs.. Be mindful of loose aluminum on steel screw on terminals. They tend to come loose with heat cycling and will cause your ignition coils to overheat and fail. Possible cause MOSFET failures in DME. Bosch decided to crimplock them on the thread without loctite. If your racing or looking for long term reliability please pay attention to this.

Planning to go with NGK 97506 1 step colder spark plugs on a stage 1 BootMod3 tune. What should I gap my spark plugs to?

@tahirrana6875 Год назад

Hi bud, you are BMW master mechanic with lot of experience and knowledge. Question for you buddy. I have BMW X5 2012 E70, few days ago I disconnected battery to work on alternator. Once, I replaced bad Alternator and re-connected battery but somehow it fried my FRM3 module. Now, I have to replace my FRM3 module from dealership... what will be the cause that fried my FRM3 module when I re-connected battery. as, far I know my battery had no issues or any error codes etc.?

@stephencannon3140 3 года назад

In addition to only replacing one cylinder at a time one more trick and again just me..... As you open the box and install the new plug, place the used plug in the same box and mark 1-6 for the cylinder number. I do that and place all the old plugs in the boxes and if busy you can read the old plugs at a later time. Also allows you to compare plugs with burn charts and isolate any problem plug to a specific cylinder. Simple and only a few extra seconds. You could even go so far as marking the boxes with cylinder number before removing the new plugs from the box. As for checking gap....despite what the box may say always verify proper gap before installation. The box can get bumped or jarred during packaging or transit to the store and even the slightest bump could throw gap off. Having had another vehicle with the 14mm spark plug sockets before I will advise be EXTREMELY careful when loosening and tightening the plugs. I had one that felt like it broke in half and was expecting to pull half of a plug back when I used the magnet to remove the #1 cylinder plug. Fortunately it came out as one piece but be very careful. There is not a lot of tolerance and plug tight and breaking can be a matter of 1/16th of a turn. Use Torque wrench for this one. As with pretty much any spark plug removal don’t use air or electric tolls to break torque. Note regular ratchet/socket to break torque and then the electric ratchet. Thanks FCP for the video

how do you know how tight to tension the plugs/what tool do you use to measure tension. also how do you "gap" plugs? sorry, newbie

@fcpeuro 4 года назад

Hi, Raul. No need to apologize! We're here to help people learn! You use a torque wrench to tighten things to a specific torque setting: www.fcpeuro.com/products/3-8-drive-micrometer-torque-wrench-30-250-in-lbs-gearwrench-85061 Gapping spark plugs is setting the distance between the tip of the spark plug and the electrode, you can lightly tap the end of the plug to close the gap, or use small plyers to open the gap. Properly measuring the gap can be done with a simple tool like this: www.fcpeuro.com/products/spark-plug-gapper-cta-manufacturing-cta-3235

@fcpeuro 4 года назад

If you aren't having any ignition issues at the moment, you should be fine for a little while longer, but if you want to avoid any future issues, you can certainly replace them now. If you do start to develop any misfires, then replacing them all at once would be the best move.

Appreciate the reply y'all very much. My bimmer is running perfectly but I'm gonna do the ignition coils to when I do the spark plugs. Like you said preventative maintenance never hurts.

Hi FCP Euro. I have just over 60k on my N55. i'm going to change the plugs, should I replace the coils too? Thanks again

@gilgonzalez5902 3 года назад

Whenever you do plugs you should do coils too yes, so you dont have to go back in there twice.

@mikeroyal4331 3 года назад

60k is too early to change coils, wasting your money if you do. Your next plug change will be better.

Hi, great video. Can I use a long straight spark plug socket, or is there a kink in the spark plug tube meaning I need to use a wobble or universal joint to get to the plugs? Thanks.

@caddyak93 3 года назад

You need the thin walled socket he mentioned. And you need a 10" or so extension. The spark plug well is straight, but deep. I recommend a locking extension, so the socket doesn't get stuck.

@545iAR 3 года назад

Austin J straight but deep, that's what I wanted to know, perfect, many thanks. I've got a long thin walled spark plug socket on order. The short one I've got is a really tight fit on the new plugs so I'm worried I pull apart the 3/8" drive, hence the long one on order. Thanks.

@caddyak93 3 года назад

Awesome, that's what you'll need. Make sure it's a 12 point socket, not 6. At least for the OEM plugs, they're 12 sided

@545iAR 3 года назад

Austin J yes, it came today and is 10" long thin walled 12 point with magnetic grip so can easily removed from over a freshly installed plug! Thanks.

@jdsilvaca 2 месяца назад

The V8 is a bit more difficult. The rear plug on each cylinder is a pain to reach. Also, makes sure you have the correct coils, of you are replacing thoses as well, and hell, you might as well do them. If you have the wrong coils, they wont plug in correctly, and even if you do get them installed, your BMW won't start. It will crank, but it won't start. So, pull a front coil, get the part number off of it, and order them that way. Don't just the parts store, or even FCP, Pelican, ECS, etc..... Check your part numbers!

You will want to get the vehicle scanned as it can be anything, included the parts you mentioned. Depending on the service history of your vehicle, a simple plug change may be all it needs.

I bought the BMW Ignition Service Kit KIT-12138616153KT5. This video says the gap is on the box but this is incorrect. What a disappointment. I think I gapped then wrong and now need to pull at least one to confirm the plugs were gapped correctly. Please update your video.

Hi Carolyn, manufacturers can change the packaging on items like these. However, you will note in the description of the listing that these spark plugs come Pre-Gapped and do not need to be gapped before installation.

Is the inlet pipe the charge pipe?

@fcpeuro 4 года назад

Hi Julian, The inlet pipe is not the charge pipe. The inlet pipe is where fresh air gets into the turbo, the charge pipe is where the compressed air goes from the turbo to the intercooler and intercooler to the throttle body.
