@@anesuchirima96 I had one! It was amazing to drive. But the premium price tag on maintenance killed it. I had a 335i with some defects. Loved it, but in the end wasn’t worth it with my paycheck.
@@Bonfire17 The thing is these cars depreciate value so much but what doesn't is the labor cost and part costs, those remain premium. At some point you will end up spending more than the cars worth.
You don’t understand the impact you have, you made something that seems so complicated much simpler and stress-free. God bless you for your work, brother. Thank you heaps
@@justinbuice I have to agree with Romahn. An indy dealer just quoted me $564 to change the plugs. I know that #6 is tough to get to, but watching this and I see that it's not that bad. I'll be swapping them myself soon.
After having a WRX and STI, I’ve decided to get a BMW. I’ve always been told that they are a money pit so that had me not want them but still have a special place in my heart for BMW. Your videos have assured me that it’s not hard to own one. I’ve always been a huge fan of M3 since I was a kid, it was mostly because of need for speed most wanted lol. I will most likely get the 340i since M prices are still up. Thanks for these videos, your content quality is amazing!
I just need a quick video to see if BMW did anything weird with their spark plug changing, and even when I had the information I needed, I still watched the entire video. It was chill, and well presented, great editing... everything nice and clean. Really well done man.. I'm gonna have to check out your other videos.
I new the spark plugs were easy on these cars but been hesitant. from my N55 days I heard there was 1 in the back that's a PITA, but really does seem straight forward. I bought the plugs but been lagging, gonna bust'em out. thanks 🤙
Thanks to your excellent video, I did my spark plugs today in a little over an hour, and had all the right tools ready at hand. The worst part was putting that damn piece of rubber trim back on (the first piece you took off)!
Great video and with really easy to follow step by step instructions!! Saved a ton of money even having to buy all the tools to get the job done (at least now I have them for future jobs)! Thanks again and keep up the great videos!!
Very nice to see a quality video with the full install and tear down. Please let me know your front strut bar that looks awesome! Doing plugs and coils next weekend. Thanks again for the vid 🤜🏼
Hear me out, I had a corvette and I loved the pulls then I also got an f30.. and it was missing something running sluggish felt like power wasn’t there. I did my spark plugs 2 weeks ago and heard gapping them to .022 is for stage 1. I did it on my stock and omg.. i can feel the boost of the turbo kick in now! I took a scat pack out today. Highly recommend it And heard it’s best for turbo cars. As the air mixture and fuel ratio.
Great video as always, I have done routine ignition services on N52, N54, And N55 engines, so this is great to give me some extra insight on how it will looks to perform this service on a M240i B58, which i'll be doing it on next!
Spark plugs are linked with the oil change at every 50k miles. So no, It will not have a stand alone to reset. When you reset the oil light for 50k/100k/150k it assumes you did the spark plugs with it.
You can do the plugs at 50,000. If your car is tuned you might want to do them sooner. I wouldn’t bother with the ignition coils yet though. They should still have plenty of life in them.
Love your chill presentation style, Justin, and your meticulous attention to detail. I have tons of tools but sent for that Wera ratchet set in your links. Sold out on your link but on Amazon at a great price. I'm curious about the very loose fitment, though, onto the wrench. Is that to give you a more forgiving arc in tight places? I saw one review where the buyer also expressed the same amazement and said he was returning his set. Its a bit pricy so wondering if its worth it. Also lack of a tab to reverse the wratchet direction seems strange. Have to flip it over to reverse direction. Any thoughts please. Thanks for your content.
I was doing this DIY, and used a $12 spark plug socket from amazon. It turned out to be not a fit for my old spark plugs and the magnet inside broke into tiny pieces. Not knowing I changed the plug in one cylinder and now I am worried if any piece went inside.
What mileage did you change the plugs at? I have the 340iX with the MPPSK tune. I bought the plugs and coils from FCP Euro with their lifetime replacement program at 45K. Before removing the old spark plugs I would strongly recommend using compressed air to blow out any loose debris or liquids in the plug ports.
@@justinbuice I don’t know if I have to replace molding or the whole thing. Never tried buying anything on ebay. Maybe I should look at ebay. Thank you
Im a newb. But i have an easy question. I have a rough idle (to be clear rpm isnt moving but car feels like its rough idling) no warning lights. Someone suggested cleaning vanos solenoids. But if theres no engine light then theres no code. Correct??? Remember im a novice trying to learn
Yo Justin. What mileage were you at when you did this? Im running stg1 MHD with stock motor/exhaust coming up on 45k mi. Have not changed my plugs yet and I'm almost positive I'm running the factory ones. I plan on catless downpipe and running stg2 so I'll most likely do plugs and coils beforehand.,
The quality of your videos never cease to amaze me! You’re put so much time and effort into them and it shows. So proud of you!
Thank you!
He’s the cat’s meow! 😸
I don't even have a bmw anymore but I still watch your videos! Always putting out quality work 👌
Thanks for sticking around!
Been watching your videos for years Justin, I love the relaxed style and attention to detail. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
The DIY king! Always top notch on these videos, they never leave any guesswork for other DIYers!
Thanks! That’s always the goal 😎
One day I will have an F30!
In the meanwhile I won't stop watching your video's about them.
And props once again to the great quality of your video's!
Have you got your F30 yet! I wanna get one too.

although i no longer have my 340i i still watch the video. make me miss my 340i and how great the B58 engine is.
Pure automotive maintenance therapy. I always love your music choices.
Thanks! I changed the music about 5 times trying to find the right songs for this
@@justinbuice You did an excellent job!
I was looking for an M3 for a while and saw your videos and ended up getting a 2018 340i. Love it so far… thanks for the great vids!
Congrats on the car!
The goat! Made it seem so much simpler than what it’s made out to be
Thanks for the refresher-e90 335i here with 221k miles and climbing 😅

For anybody that has the older style coils i highly recommend upgraded to the Eldor coils. They are bulletproof specially for tuned applications.
Very nice to see a quality video with the full install and tear down. Please let me know your front strut bar that looks awesome! Doing plugs and coils next weekend. Thanks again for the vid 🤜🏼
Always happy to watch one of ur videos! thanks for making great content on the bmw
Was there any difference in the drive?
I can vouch that this is so much easier with the Kies tool. Smooth video Justin 😎
Thank you!
Hey my friend good video i have cuestion waht socket i can used for my 2012 BMW 328i Fwd N20??
everytime i watch one of ur vids its slowly bringing me closer to purchasing a f31 wagon but with the b48 engine XD
Get it!
Your videography skills are so amazing like wow
Thanks I appreciate that!

Again it was a great joy to watch this video,luckly I have beter access and only 4 plugs 😁😁to replace on my E90 318i.
The F30 sounds so good🔥🔥🔥🔥.
That looks way easier than I thought. Might try it on my f83 next time! Thanks.
Best of luck!
Good video. That said, I busted a bolt on the brace going to 56nm. Are those bolts supposed to be reused?
Very nice video. Probably the best for this job. I successfully did it on my M240iX 2016, easy peasy. Thank you very much !
Just in time, just received my plugs and oil from FCP💪🏽
Nice! Good luck! 😁🔧
Added to my arsenal of knowledge
Thank you
Perfect timing I’m looking to change mine soon.
Great video and I'm learning so much from them thanks.
Glad I can help!
What coil packs are you wanting to put on? I am looking at. 17’ 340 with 100k miles and guessing they could be replaced.
So clutch! About to do this on my 340 this week 🤝
Good luck!
Great video I always wondering with the gap u answer my question perfect 😊
Thumbs up 👍 for the glow plugs gang!
Hey Justin thank you for the video, i had question do we need to reset any milage meter to register the new spark plugs?
Spark plugs are linked with the oil change at every 50k miles. So no,
It will not have a stand alone to reset. When you reset the oil light for 50k/100k/150k it assumes you did the spark plugs with it.

83rd "like"! I love your videos! Please keep them coming!
The production quality is outstanding :)
One broken tab later I’m all done💥
I have 27,000 miles on my 540i should I change my spark plugs or coils yet or should I wait until 50,000 miles?
You can do the plugs at 50,000. If your car is tuned you might want to do them sooner. I wouldn’t bother with the ignition coils yet though. They should still have plenty of life in them.

55k
You plan on doing your injectors ? 🙏🏼🥺
Great video, I will be doing this over the weekend.
At 4:45 you use a yellow/orange terminal pin tool, where did you get it from?
The orange plastic tool is just a generic interior pry tool
Do you have to reset the engine light after?
You can reset the spark plug maintenance interval using the BC stalk, I should have showed that in the video
why no lubricant on the threads?
Hey with your stage1 and air intake, do you have a catless pipe?
I have the stock downpipe for now
Good evening dose the 08 328i subframe fits the 2011 328i
Hey Im not sure. It should fit, but knowing BMW, they might have made changes between that many model years even for the same chassis
Great how to video. Thanks
I like these coils more than the e90 style especially the electric harness where you are not sure if it pushed all the way in or not
I agree. I had a miss-fire after replacing my valve cover gasket on my E90 and it was just one of the coils not pushed down all the way
Hi I see you remove window cowl do you have any problem with molding breaking? I have been searching online to find one, but not luck
Have you looked on eBay?
@@justinbuice I don’t know if I have to replace molding or the whole thing. Never tried buying anything on ebay. Maybe I should look at ebay. Thank you
Does anyone know the part number of those circular covers at 2 mins in the video? I lost one while washing the car -.-

What engine do you have? It’s possible to have a code with no check engine light, you’ll need to use a scan tool to see if there are any pending codes
@@justinbuice we have an 09 328i and a 2011 x3. The problem is with the x3.
@@justinbuice thanks. Will do! Love the videos. Learning a lot
I believe the strut brace is 56nm + 90 degrees.
Did you ever confirm this?
Yo Justin. What mileage were you at when you did this? Im running stg1 MHD with stock motor/exhaust coming up on 45k mi. Have not changed my plugs yet and I'm almost positive I'm running the factory ones. I plan on catless downpipe and running stg2 so I'll most likely do plugs and coils beforehand.,
Mine was 55k. I probably should have done them sooner.
thanks bro for the diy!
Do you know the torque specs for those e18 that holds the struct brace?
Should be 56 Nm
NGk 94201 or 97506 and why?
If you check your car on FCP Euro's website and look up spark plugs, the 94201 is listed as the "OE" plug for these cars.
Hey what exhaust tips are these?
I have an AWE touring exhaust with the black tips
Hi, I like your channel and I would like to ask you that why you don't buy a BMW diesel?
Diesel cars aren’t common where I live
Do you have used parts I can buy for a good price?
Not at the moment
Cool 👍🏿
Do you know the torque specs for those 10mm ? 7:58
Just get finger tight and one 90 degree turn should be good. It’s just plastic your putting in😂.
But u use the Milwaukee electric screwdriver 😂 8:02
the clip on the coil very stubborn
❤️
👍
Next change the engine cover to M Performance
I want the toyota Supra cover 😂
Bmw Says compressed air must be used beforr removing the sparks
replace plugs?> sure just take apart half the car, gearbox oil change? sure follow the 4273894 steps
Bm3 is absolutely garbage
Bm3 a tuner?
