Great video, plugs just arrived, gonna change them in a moment. BTW, NGK Changed number of these plugs, now it's PLZKBR7B8G, 91530.
Thank you so much for the update!!! I hope it worked out well for you :)
@@mattsbeamer Worked out great, really nice tutorial.
I just buy that ones for my f21, work excellent
This is the ideal video for anyone who has a BMW with an N13 engine and wants to change the spark plugs themselves!!!
kc4ril it sure is buddy :)
Great tutorial. I actually found it harder to get the correct size plug socket than I did doing the job.
I guess I was lucky with finding mine :) thank you 🙏
Thank you!!, It’s the first time that I do it and everything went well
I'm glad you did it!! Nice one!! :)
Awesome man. Loving your videos
Appreciate it!
nice and easy review . good job!
Thank you for the feed back :D cheers
Great Video Mate. Thank you a lot!!!
You're welcome! Cheers :)
So much helpful information!!!
I am glad it’s helped you :)
Gosh my 1 series F21 has done 56k and never had the spark plugs changed. No problems experienced luckily however its currently getting a major service at my local BMW dealership inc. spark plug change.
Great video by the way! Thanks
Hey, sorry it took so long to reply :) I changed my plugs only to teach people how to it. :) I could of got away with a clean up :)
I hope the service went well. Cheers :)
Great intro, and yet another informative tutorial, it’s amazing how many people don’t recognise the importance of spark plugs and their condition, thank you. We’ve found on various vehicles that if the engine is cooling it can be easier to remove the plugs, especially if the car has been stood.
Thank you for the comment :D it’s true, people don’t realise. :) that’s an interesting point, I haven’t had to work on a stops car before. I will watch your review soon. Cheers guys :)
mattsbeamer your welcome, it’s cool to see you starring in this one too😊
Planet Auto haha. It’s something that I’m not really confident at doing. :D
mattsbeamer you could have fooled us, that was plenty confident 😎
Your so kind :D
Another great diy 👍
linda pet thank you :D
Thank you very much. With your videos i will change my oil-oil filter,air filter and cabin filter myself. If it was serviced at authorized dealer they would change air filter after 70k km and cabin filter after 2 years! For three times more money!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It’s nice to get some feed back :) I need to finish filming my fuse box location video.
If there is anything you need to know just message me. Oh newtis is a great website to help assist you :)
@@mattsbeamer Thanks again for website too. Keep up the good work. Cheers
awesome and basic video!!
abionelan thank you :D
Many thanks, very useful
You’re welcome :)
Thx, the coil pack was broken. Now it works again.
Daveplus congratulations mate!
@@mattsbeamer Thx!
excellent!!!
Many thanks!
Hol friend, the originals have a separation of 0.7mm right? the ngk 0.5mm What benefits can I have with 0.5mm?
Hi. Good day. How to loosen the black strip?? Wasn’t to clear from the video
Thank you.
You're welcome!
which electrode gap is adequate?
Thanks.
🎉 NGK etc.. Laser Platinum and Iridium Spark Plugs lasts always more than 90.000 KM, regular ones 60.000 km, by the way.
I love it
Good to know
Please wash the engine
Cheers! :D
I would love to clean the engine, but its down to finding a decent company to clean it. I'd do it myself, but its illegal here.
Timati car wash can do it for you 🤩
which size extension do i need?
Hey Matt, hope you are well. I desperately require your advice. I have a 2015 116i Auto with 90 000km on the clock. Recently, the car was misfiring badly and using a scanner tool, it indicated a misfire in cylinder 2. I replaced the spark plugs, thinking that was the issue. Unfortunately, Cylinder 2 had oil in it. I took it to a service shop and they said that the oil leaking into the cylinder was not from the o-ring gasket. After dismantling and putting the cover on, the misfire in cylinder 2 has persisted. The car is not smoking which indicates a blown engine... any idea what we could investigate???? I really need to save $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Hey, I am well thank you, I hope you are too, other than the car issue.
Yes, normally if the oil is getting past the rings, it would throw out blue smoke.
Did you replace the coil pack too? If not, try swapping the coil pack itself with another in the engine. (just remember unplug the coil packs before doing so, as the leads must stay with the same cylinder it was made for). If the code moves then its the oil pack.
When they did the job, did they check to see if that spark plug was free from oil, after it ran :) Cheers
Do you have a link for the plugs ? Great video by the way
Rhys Ensor hey, thank you for the comment. I am glad you liked the video. As for the spark plugs, I got mine from a place in Russia, so it won’t be much use to you. I need to find a good place for my friends back home in England. I used to use carparts4less when I was in England. :)
matt, thank you for this video! Just a quick one, I have a drive train error on my 116i. I scanned it with a generic obd scanner and it said that there is a misfire in cylinder 2... My question: what are the cylinder numbers?
Thank you! respect from south africa!
Vishal Ramphal hey, on BMW engines, the spark plug which is the closest to the front of the car (the radiator end) is cylinder number one. So it’s the cylinder just behind it :)
Try swapping the coil pack with another in the engine, and see if the misfire moves :) just don’t get the leads mixed up.
@@mattsbeamer thank you!
@@VishalRamphal you are welcome.
@@mattsbeamer one last question... Is there a way to reset the power train error on the cars computer?
Vishal Ramphal I believe you can only get rid of this issue, once the error has been fixed. When the car senses the fault is sorted it may even turn this error off itself.
I need to change right side fog lamp it cracked, stone shut probably. Can you guide how? Right if you looking at car from front.
Hey, I haven't made a video yet, but until I do, here is a link www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f20-116i-sha/repair-manuals/63-lights/63-17-front-fog-lamps-additional-lamps/GxvSvzgh
I did make a video on how to change the bulb, but not the unit. But my video will make it clear, on how to gain access to them bolts :)
Hi Matt's or anyone, is there a specific spark plug tool required? My 16mm spark plug remover seems to be the wrong type. Can anyone elaborate please as I can't remove the plugs?
hey, I used a 14mm thin-walled bi hex socket :) It is at the 5:22 mark :)
Hi, do you ever went to get scan your car to see why your old sparks plugs were black if you didnt pass 60,000km. You haved any problem about that or anything (with new spark plugs). Also is any other code to buy the correct sparks? Thank you, great video!
Hey, since I don't really put many miles on the clock, and drive like a granny around Moscow and not driving it hard at times, an injector clogged up, which caused issues. The dealer cleaned the injectors out and she now runs perfectly :) To find the right spark plugs, i typed my last 7 digits into REALOEM to find the spark plugs I need. Then I used that part number to find me other brands :)
cheers :)
@@mattsbeamer hello was the injector clogged the reason you had petrol mixing in oil?
Hi thanks for the video but I didnt get the part 23nm torc. How are we suppose to adjust this 23nm when we switch it off?
dream of ice when the spark plug is in the engine, you tighten it up with a torque wrench to 23nm. You put the sparkplugs in dry, not lubricated :) it needs to be done before you put the coil packs back in
@@mattsbeamer and what if we don't have a torque wrench and tighten it up manually with justspark plug socket feeling it seated?
I use ngk laser iridium gaped at 0.6 with stage 1 220 hp. Îs important to gap 0.1 les for every 50 hp gain by tuning
thank you for your advice on the gap!
Hey Costel Ariton . Have you change MAF injectors turbo etc or just remap with series equipment?
@@jacekw.4374 just remap.
How is effected the car?
Hi matt, thanks for sharing, good information. How's the NGK spark plugs? Could you please advise any reason you getting it instead of BMW spark plugs? Thanks
Hey, thanks for the kind comment. I was told by someone that NGK made the plugs for BMW, plus they were much cheaper.
I can’t comment on the plugs because I had to take my car to get diagnosed since the oil level was rising slightly due to a faulty injector, so she is running on original BMW plugs. They have been great :)
@@mattsbeamer Hi matt, thanks for the prompt response. I have changed all 4 Bosch ignition coil recently, and it got misfiring when pushing further from 165km/h (for testing purposes), guessing the spark plugs not in good condition, I am eyeing on the BMW spark plugs but interested to learn about the NGK/Bosch alternative. Thanks again for sharing & advice, much appreciated!
What is that box for on the back side of engine cover?
Its the vacuum reservoir which is to do with the turbo :)
my plug won't go in properly on cylinder 1. even after I swap coils it's so hard to go in and it's misfiring. faulty plug??
Sorry to hear your having this issue. Did the person before you cross thread the spark plug?
Which one is cylinder 4? Bottom or up? I have p304 error and 4th cylinder is fucked up and i don't know which one is 4th.
When standing in front of the car, cylinder 1 is the closest to you. If your car is a 4 cylinder engine, it will be the cylinder furthest away from you.

is that a normal 14mm socket wrench?
Mine was a thin walled socket :)
I'm just curious that what does the vacuum pipe connected with the engine cover? Thanks,
王洋 hey, I believe it’s something to do with the turbo :)
@@mattsbeamer well actually one time i've experienced, one of the pipe just fell off without my notice, blue smoke came out of my hood.
well since its vacume tube in engine cover i guess it sucks something from inside the engine cover
@@mattsbeamer Same definition as I do :D
I have the experience of the hose didn't installed properly and when trying to push harder, drive train error displayed. I scanned the fault code, it shown the code related to the low charging pressure
OEM Spark plug : gn10572-12B1
Thank you. I like the Delphi ignition coils. Not badly priced either :)
mattsbeamer Your video helped me a lot. I had a problem with my series 1 f21 2013, misfire on cyl4, I was riding on 3cyl. I just changed the 4 spark plugs (not just 1) and it works as before. thanks for the video I could see how to take them apart, done in 5min! 4:20
ASAP SeFiR thank you so much for the feedback :D it really motivates me to make more diy videos :) I am glad you were able to do the job!!! Good luck with future work on the car! :D
Hello i own the same vehicule and when i tried to change the sparks i've noticed that the rear placement of the vacuum hose on the engine cover have broken, and i couldn't find the hose... i've bought a new engine cover and tried to find the hose but i've failed ever since the car is driving on 3 cylinders and i couldn't find the issue if someone of you could check where the hose is comming from that would help me thanks !
Alfa Motorsport hey, I shall look for you when I’m home. It’s strange that the hose is missing
Thanks a lot my friend
Hey, I am sorry I didn't get to go to the car tonight. I hope I will have some time in the morning. As soon as I get the time, I will do it. Sorry once again.
Hey, i've found where it was on the engine on the feul supply on the right side. Thanks tho !
You don't need to disconnect the hoses from the acoustic cover, you can carefully flip it over with the hoses connected and lay it upside down on the turbo. Obviously don't do this if the turbo is still hot, lol.
Hi, how much oil îs consuming at 10k km?
Costi Ariton hey, at the moment mine isn’t consuming any oil :)
@@mattsbeamer thanks, mine has 170k on The clock and stage 1, oil consumption 1liter at 10k km
97968 is the replacement
Thank you, it seems to change all the time.
Is this the same for diesel engine
Hi mate, no. Diesel engines have glowplugs instead. I've never worked on a diesel :)
is your nose blocked ?
An Evaluator yes from my brother smashing my nose as a kid. It has never been right since :)
how dirty is this engine
Curry 4836 yes unfortunately it gets very dirty very quickly in Moscow. Especially when it snows or rains
@@mattsbeamer but do not clean so often before the engine block rusts
Curry 4836 to be honest I am about nervous cleaning it. ) I knows illegal for me to clean my car myself (in Moscow) but I also worry that if I take it to a garage to clean the engine, they may mess it up. :D
