Just to update this thread, just received the spark plug socket from Amazon. Very nice from what I can see and magnetic. I've used Mercedes sockets with the spring holder and much prefer the magnetic ones. I guess to each his own. This one also has a universal joint built in. I'll probably be pulling the plugs within the next few days. Thanks again for all the kind advice.

Also wanted to update thread with my recent plug install. The CTA swivel socket from FCP was great! I used the Bosch stock plugs (non-bmw branded), checked gaps and all were within spec. All ordered from FCP. Hardest part of the install was taking all of the plastics/covers/brackets off to get to the plugs. Used compressed air to clean connections.
Drove ~400 miles straight a few days after install and it was all working great. I'm running the MHD stage 1+ tune.

I agree completely with the plastic removal being the worst part. Good time to replace the cabin air filter if yours is old. You have to remove the housing to get to the back plugs.

All this talk about the spark plugs, but no mention of what the correct gap should be. I've seen numbers like 0.020", 0.022", 0.040", and 0.043"... Quite a disparity.
So what should the spark plug gap be, specifically for my N52 engine?

The NGK LZFR6AP11GS spec says it's a 0.043" gap.
