Thanks so much for posting this detailed video. Was able to complete today, and managed to only lose the two 10mm's that hold the overflow tank, and a small flashlight. All 10mm sockets were successfully recovered! I call that a score any day. I hate to even think the cost to have this done at a shop. Great job Mr. Mechanic!
That’s great! I’m glad the video helped! And yes this is no easy job. Congrats on getting it done. You saved a lot because book time is about 3 hours. Some shops where I live are 200-300 an hour.
Thank you so much for the super thanks! I truly appreciate your generosity! 👊🏼
Thank you for showing the torque specs! So many diy for this but none of them tell you the torque specs lol
You are welcome. I hope I was able to properly illustrate every bolt for you.
Thank you! I just changed my spark plugs following this guide.
That’s great! There are a few other videos for maintenance on the M3 posted as well
Really good tutorial and well described. Helped me out alot. Thanks man.
Great video. Thanks, this saved me a lot of time!
Great job with this video. Thanks!
This was a very helpful guide, the only part that I think you may have missed was the removal of the bracket that holds the coolant reservoir, I see you removed it at 5:42 but it wasn't verbally mentioned. I believe the T30 goes on the hole closer to the coolant and the 10mm goes on the strut, but it shouldn't make a difference. BMW quoted me about 1k to do the spark plugs and both intake/cabin air filter, with your guides I was able to complete it for about $150. Thanks!
New subscriber here. You've done a great job with the S55 videos 😊
Thank you appreciate it!
Thanks!
You are very welcome! I appreciate your generosity
Just finished changing the cabin filter, engine filter and spark plugs. Took me total of 6 hours but that’s because I’m an extreme beginner.
Once done, went for a drive and BimmerLink did not report any misfires. So hopefully it’s all good.
Your videos were amazing. Thank you. The only thing you forgot to list is the “16mm” nut.
I also don’t think I understood the 90 degree torque thingy. I might just have a mechanic do that for me since the screws are exposed. Not sure how important that is for a regular m3 user (no tracking).
Thanks again.
I really want to thank you for taking the time and making this video. I would love to send you a Venmo cash gift as a token of my appreciation. So please let me know.
Cheers
That’s great! I’m glad everything worked out! Yeah the 90 degree angle torque is a little confusing. Yeah no problem the main goal of the channel is to help everybody and give them confidence to work on their car. It’s really not that hard if somebody shows you how to do it. Plus the savings is nice.
I would greatly appreciate the gift. There is a thank you option on the video if you wish to give a cash gift.
Thank you in advance I’ll frame your donation as you will be the first.
@@friendlymechanic9778 I drove on the highway and noticed when I went to accelerate a bit hard, I felt a power loss and after that, every time I accelerated, I would hear a quiet whistle. Issue not seen at idle when I accelerate or generally lower rpm.
Any ideas what I messed up.
I would look at all the clamps for the intake pipes. Make sure those are tight. Check to make sure all connectors are on correctly. Make sure the air filters are not pinched as well.
No check engine light on?
Scan the car and check for any fault codes that be stored. Especially if you see a line disconnect fault go to that sensor and make sure it’s plugged in.
Check engine light just came on. I’m getting “air mass too high” errors:
102001, 102E11, 102901
Yeah I would say there is un metered air coming in somewhere. You would need to double check your work on anything with an intake pipe and the charge pipes that were removed. If I remember correctly sometimes the charge pipes that connect to the intercooler can fold in on the bottom side and you can’t see it so check that as well. Let me know how it goes and I can lend further assistance.
This seems a bit overengineered, ja? Don't forget to replace the stretch hood hinges every time you pop it lol.
Great video btw, i enjoyed watching it!
Excellent video. Have you done one on replacing the valve cover/gasket?
No, not yet. But when I get the opportunity I will record it and post it most definitely!
Something I just recently learned. Hold your torque wrench for 3 seconds to let the bolt catch up to the torque.
Haven’t heard this one yet. But I’ve been in the field for about 14 years now. I haven’t found that to be the case but I’ll try it and see if there is a difference.
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! Just one question... reconnecting the battery, will it require a coding of above mentioned? My car is a F87 M2C.
Thanks again 😊
No need for coding. You only need to code or register the battery when the battery is replaced.
Do you recommend putting a small dab of dielectric grease on the end of the coil when reinstalling coil?
No, I wouldn’t recommend it. It is not necessary and usually just makes a mess. In other car brands I have even found that the coil and plugs still get stuck together regardless if you use it or not.
Hi 👋 Great step by step instructions. What is the factory spark plug Gap ….🤔
Great question. I will look into that for you as I do not know the gap off the top of my head as I usually just install the new plugs. I will also take a look at a brand new set of plugs and see what they measure at as well.
In the video, you recommend a magnetic 10 mm socket. Is the link you provided for the socket (10 mm) the magnetic version? If not, can you provide a link to what you were using?
I have purchased the parts and I am ready to change, but I want to make sure I have everything.
Also, how long does this take?
Thanks again for this great video.
The link in the description is not for the magnetic version.
I’m using a snap on brand magnetic socket but the brand doesn’t matter as long as it works.
amzn.to/49eB9jg
this link will take you a similar 10mm magnetic socket.
But again you don’t “need” this, it’s just if you have it, I would use it. If you use a regular 10mm socket just hold on to the screw so it doesn’t fall down. And remember to start the bolts by hand they can cross thread easily.
@@friendlymechanic9778 thank you for your quick response.
No problem 👍🏼 good luck feel free to ask questions if you get stuck.
Where can i buy the bolts and screws needed to be replaced?
Best place would be the dealer.
The description has all the part numbers and quantities you would need.
What brand spark plug socket are u using?
The brand is ARES I got it off Amazon. Here is an affiliate link.
14mm Sparkplug Socket With Extension: amzn.to/3iFUYL3
Which snap-on torque wrench did you use? In the description is different wrench
I used a Snap On 3/8 Tech angle flex head torque wrench. The one in the description is a economical torque wrench that will get the job done. The one I used in the video is about $800.00
@@friendlymechanic9778 Thanks for information! I just ordered set of 1/2 and 3/8!
That’s great! I would just make sure you get the 1/2” up to 300 ft lbs. it came out recently.
Hello,
You stated E12, E14, and 16mm @ 5:15. You've mentioned E12 and 16mm during the process, but where is the E14 used?
Thanks.
It is only used for two bolts for the big metal brace that hugs the strut towers. One on either corner tucked away in the back.
At 5:07 you see it. It’s in a circular part of the brace.
Ah, thank you very much. I do see it.
Thanks for this amazing video. My F80 2018 is coming up for spark plug / air filter and cabin filter change. Gonna do it myself with the help of your video.
Question: when you were pulling out the spark plug, did you use a magnet to pull it out?
Also, I did not see the part where you actually insert the new ones in. Did I miss something??
Thanks again.
Your welcome!
This is the tool I use to install the spark plugs. It has a magnetic tip so it won’t fall out. It can also be used to remove the spark plugs.

There are links at the end of the video on how to replace the cabin air filter as well as the engine air filter. You can also find them in the playlist section for the F80. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Funny how u said u don’t like using magnetic spark plug socket… after 4 it broke and hella magnet shit now I don’t know if small pieces fell in the cylinder I don’t think they did because the spark plug was bellow it but if it did I’m literally going to cry bro 😢
Oh man that sucks, try to piece together what you have so you know what is missing. You can then get a boroscope from Amazon that connects to your phone I got mine for 80 dollars. Look around down in the cylinder to see if you find anything down there and try to fish it out.
@@friendlymechanic9778 I’m pretty sure there’s nothing that fell because the spark plug thread was holding some of that magnet and the rest was in the socket just hoping when I start this bitch up it’s okay if not rest in piece m4
@@friendlymechanic9778 the spark plug thread would make it impossible for the magnet to fall thru down the cylinder when I was pulling it out but I’m going to try to put a strong magnet wand in there and see if I pull up something
Yeah that’s a good idea. Just to be safe try and get a camera in there that engine is not cheap
@@friendlymechanic9778my dumb ass torque the plugs to 20 ft lbs that’s 2 pounds over should I worry?
save my life with part numbers, hard to figure out on the parts diagram
I’ve been using the e12 torx where the 13mm brace top is. They have the same threading?
I believe they do. So you can accidentally switch them. Best practice would be to put the bolts where they came from.
Thank you! The top 10mm went sideways today before I saw your video. And the short 2x 13mm bolt on the bottom CF bar are stripped kinda. Any fix ideas on the short 13mm ?
There are thread chasers you can use to attempt to re align the threads. Let me get the size you should use.
Also I strip e12 bolt head using 3/8 socket. But e12 socket won’t work. Any ideas. Thank you again
Spark plug gap??????? 🤔
You don’t set the gap on these plugs they come set
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it!
