BMW How To Replace Spark Plugs N55 F10, F01, F02 535i 2010 - 2016

[@daveeckert9851]

Thank you very much for posting this. It was incredibly helpful. I would’ve had a very difficult time without it.

Thank you for the high quality video with clear instructions. I was having trouble figuring out how to get to the last two plugs.

[@friendlymechanic9778]

Your welcome! How did everything turn out?

@@friendlymechanic9778 I got it back up and running as strong as ever thanks again!

I've maintained cars for many decades and this is the best how-to video I've seen, to include my own postings. Thank you. A couple of my own lessons learned: Your advice to buy the valve and special spark plug wrench are spot on. I broke my valve but it was one of the tabs that failed rather than the body. I would add blasting compressed air into the spark plug chamber both before removing it and after replacing it (NOT with the cylinder open). There wasn't much debris before removing the plugs but mine shed a lot of grit as I removed them. Blowing it out before installing the coil packs cleaned that up. If you miss something and fix it later in the video, I suggest editing that fix into the earlier time so as to avoid people making the same slip up and then having to go back as you did. That also goes for your good tips like how the coil connector slots into the locking tab. I finished the job with no extra parts, no codes and she runs strong! ;-)

I’ve done 3 different N55s engines with this video . Best of the best . My last vehicle I worked on was a f15 bmw x5 m sport . I broke PVC pipe . Thank god FCP euro has them for $55 . Dealership was $212

That’s great that it can be a reference for other series and models. And yeah dealership prices are crazy expensive.

The best step by step instruction video 👍.

Great video! Very well explained and appreciate the patience showing the detail of the process. I have taken your recommendation and purchase the spark plug socket set …. Don’t want to risk using the straight socket and stripping it. Again, Thank You!

[@Reeltinyphish]

Perfect step by step! And I bought the cheaper amazon part and it fit perfect. Thank you!!

[@ElwayzHi-g2b]

Great video. Thank you. Need more F10 N55 videos please. Ex: how to reach the EWG to adjust the linkage 🤪

Be sure to check out the playlist for all the videos on the F10 N55

[@AikiNinja1]

Great video! I had trouble removing the crankcase breather hose on my X5, I had everything off except that and didn't have another hose to replace if I broke the one already on the car. I gave up. I'm ordering two, one for X5 and one for 740i. I'm going to tackle this on the weekend.

I have a toque wrench but trying to figure out where the numbers go on the wrench not sure

[@friendlymechanic9778]

Pull the sleeve just above the handle and twist it until you get to torque value you want. 23NM for the spark plugs.

[@X5NATE]

@@friendlymechanic9778 yes I did found it online’ hey man I used your video on everything! Change all coils & spark plugs ! Used your methods for the tube ! That cost $75-$200 I saved it & wow the cars works great!

[@kunjant75]

Outstanding video.... I have never seen a better video. Would really like to see you do an N55 (per 535i ) valve cover gasket R&R. Really want to send you a donation via the "Thanks" icon above. It it safe?

[@1fastg321]

Did you use the $150 oem plugs or the $10 oe?

[@friendlymechanic9778]

I used the Bosch OE plugs on this one. I don’t remember the price for all 6

[@betl5982]

OMG! OMG!!! People say BMWs over engineered pain in the ass. That’s an understatement!
