Spark plugs

Anyone change/replace their spark plugs yet? If you did, what did you replace them with?

I have not changed mine. But...

IF you change your S-plugs you WILL need a special 14mm 12pt 3/8th drive socket.

Someone posted and said they used a 5/8ths American grade socket. Not sure???

IIRC, BMW recommends replacement at 45,000 miles for the 135 and 100,000 for the 128i.

My E46 with 95,000 is still running perfectly on the original plugs.

go to getbmwparts.com and there is no way they would go 45,000 miles with a tune. Most with tunes change every 10-15K but all cars are diffrent.
