Just wanted to say you have the best instructional video on youtube on spark plugs with the e92 M3. Seriously great job! I am going to be performing this job soon on my e92 M3 and your video has me up for the challenge. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks very much for this video. I did mine tonight in under two hours. Thanks especially for the tip about the u-joint. I don't think I'd have been able to do it without that and my M Division puller.
I’ve completed the RHS bank (when looking from the front of the car) and although I managed to get the plug out, closest to the firewall, I was nervous about over or under torquing it with a load of knuckle joint extensions. So I removed the strut brace. Super easy to do and gives more of a straight shot access to the plug. Doing the other side now where the expansion tank is.
Just did all my spark plugs thanks to your video! The two ignition coils closest to firewall (one on each side) are not wanting to seat completely, I’ve made sure they’re aligned correctly and have pushed as hard as I can. Did you run into any issues while re seating the coils? Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Did you notice any difference in idling or other engine behavior after changing the plugs? I got an E92 M3 a couple months ago and pulled one of the plugs tonight. Looks about the same as your old ones did. The center electrode didn’t seem to be worn away so I figured it might still be good
Hello, very good friend, the video. I want to ask you a technical question. a month ago I bought a M3 E92 manual transmission year 2009 it has a slight vibration when I accelerate it stopped in neutral between 1200 and 1500 RPM. It feels like the engine is out of balance, is that normal? do you know what the problem would be?
Does the engine shake when you rev it? Could be worn out motor mounts or something in your driveline like cv axle or driveshaft. Hard to tell just from the description.
It's possible to get a good enough angle to torque it down if you use the right combination of extensions. At 6:21 you can see the extensions I used and at 7:02 what it looks like in the spark plug hole.
Très belle vidéo, ça m’a instruit, j’aurais voulu savoir où vous avez trouvé l’adaptateur pour arracher les adaptateurs de bougies, j’ai cherché partout j’ai pas trouvé. Merci de votre compréhension et encore félicitations de votre vidéo.😇🇵🇹

Newt44 Glad it was helpful. Good luck with swapping out the old plugs!

"and it's very easy to remove...ouch" LOL. Thanks for sharing anyway.
Thanks for sharing this video Bro. The tips on the special tools is what I really needed to see 👍🏽💯

Hey Will. Are the spark plugs supposed to be torqued to spec with a torque wrench?
Very helpful video! Can you please post a link for the tools? Thank you!
I added links to the special tools used in the description.
Where can I get that tool

Did you find the issue?
Thanks for sharing! I don't understand why BMW engineers design such painful engine bay layouts for the mechanics 😆
cuz they stuffed a v8 in a standard sedan! 🤘😎
Thank you brotha!!!!!!!
What is the spark plug torque needed to install?
25 Nm (18 ft-lb)
how did u torque the ones closest to the firewall

Pre gapped or what? You never mentioned that.
They’re pre gapped.
