This is the socket I got I will go and measure the one I have

Guess what my 18 mm wrench would not fit around the socket.
Now you know why it was binding up down in the plug holes.

You can turn your socket down by using a grinding wheel/stone.

Just put the socket on the end of an extension and keep grinding the socket until your 18mm wrench fits over it.

Or... go buy a new spark plug tool/socket from your local BMW dealer. I bet even SEARS sells the proper socket
