Best place to buy spark plugs 335i
Where is the best place to buy these from, looked at the usual places Ebay, Halfrauds etc. Also prices seem to vary massively ? Anywhere else you can recommend?
Thanks

For the 335i you need special "high power" spark plugs which are about £17 per plug iirc. You need to be careful to get the right part, as it's not the same ones that the N53 330i/325i use for example.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...item27c95aadc5 These are the ones you need. As you can see, these are the plugs only for the x35i N54 models. The N55 models have different plugs as do the N52 and N53 engines in the x25i/x30i |

If you're planning on modding, might be a good idea to try these:

Yup fit all n54 engines. One thing to note is that there are some adaptations you should reset after changing plugs as you might find that it runs worse with new plugs. Happened to me with OEM BMW plugs. If you search in the engine part of the forum you should find the info.

Run it on map 5 and let it sort itself out or not that simple?

Common problem on 335i's, the majority have this from what I hear. It was thought to be related to carbon on the intake valves but I cleaned my mine and still have the issue and I've heard the same from other people.

I got mine here, cheapest price I've ever seen! Don't seem to list for the 335i but the 135i is N54 too and the part number is the same.
