changing sparkplugs

Kizzu · 09-19-2014, 09:28 AM

So I was surfing the net to find a set of NGK plugs so I thought that given the 130i 128i 125i have the same engine I though that they had the same type of plugs too.
turns out that the 130i has a different part number than the 125i.
Now given that I have a tune giving the same output as a 130i (more or less) and having the same engine which type of plug shoud I get?

What are the last 7 digits of your VIN?

Are the sparkplugs pre gapped?

Anything that comes with a sleeve(pretty much all of them) are pre-gapped.

They are but it doesn't hurt to check them. If you drop them or bump them, gap could be off. Of course then I have to find my little gap tool.
