Review on πŸ”₯ NGK (3199) BKR6EQUP Laser Platinum Spark Plug - High Performance Plug for Improved Ignition - Pack of 1 by Fernando Wolford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is the correct OEM connector for your BMW E46 series at no extra cost BMW

This connector fits most BMW E46 series vehicles. The price is a small fraction of the retailer's cost. It is of the same high quality as any other genuine BMW part. The other obvious fork choice is Bosch. Both are of the same excellent quality. BMW rates Bosch or NGK connectors at 100,000 miles when used on the E46. People who do the work often change them after 50,000 miles and start faster. To gain access to the cylinder head it is necessary to remove the four Torqx head screws that secure the cab vent shroud to the front of the bulkhead over the rear of the engine. This is the only real barrier to entry and is designed to keep mechanics away from the engine. (BMW keeps unskilled people away from their engines by not making engine cover removal obvious.) There are plenty of good videos on YouTube on this. If you have never seen anyone do this task, then it will be easier for you to complete this task if you watch someone else demonstrate this task for you on Youtube. Understanding the clogging at the ignition coil terminals, located above each spark plug, for example, is not obvious to those who have never seen anyone do this job. that was three or four years ago. Many user forums and videos available on Youtube provide great step-by-step guides on standard procedures. It's a great help in learning how to work cleanly and methodically on basic maintenance tasks.
