the organization aspect of this video is amazing bro, the parts location along the wall, the telling me what tools we need before, showing the tools on the side as a little pop up. Amazing! Thank you.

Very informative video, well organized and easy to follow along thank you!

+@angelicachavez3773 thanks! Glad to help 🍻

Aaron think it’s time to get some kind of head band mount so both hands are free for these jobs. Will likely reduce your overall time spent filming as well? As always great job.

+Jim McCarthy 😂 I love it!

Really useful video, i like to know which tools to use before I begin. I was changing them on my friends 2003 320i 2.2 6 cylinder. Took it nice and easy and completed the task in about an hour. I used the platinum spark plugs and it now runs like a dream. Thanks, super helpful 👍. I also took off the undertray to identify the source of an oil leak and found a clear red drop of oil towards the rear of the engine which is obviously ATF. Is there a likely place to start looking?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@seanphillips24 thanks! Unfortunately idk about your leak though.

Do you have a video on how to do injector seals? What tools are needed etc.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Nic Pringle no sorry, I’ve never done that.

Hi Aaron, the spark plugs link to ecs said that it's not compatible with e46?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+A Chan yeah idk what’s up with their fitment list but that’s what they sent me in the kit that says fits, and they work 😂 Just contacted them. They confirmed they are 100% for that car and get them to update the fitment on the site.

+Qwiso DIY! 😉🍻

[@redeyeofthenightfall]

@@HelpMeDIY i don't have the tools. i know it's a pretty simple job tho i've had the vehicle since 12k mi so i should invest in tools by now haha

[@redeyeofthenightfall]

​@@HelpMeDIY i did the DIY and the car runs beautifully again there used to be some lag, almost like the ECU was struggling to calculate what it should be doing now it's smooth and feels new however, now i need to look at replacing CCV system and related vacuum lines. my plugs were wet fouled and i've been burning too much oil for a year

[@big_gay_slurpie6064]

Thanks, my 328i over heated now it won’t crank, so imma order new spark plugs and see if it will start.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Big_gay_slurpie good luck!
