Replacing Sparkplugs on 330i

RingBredE90 · 03-02-2012, 12:16 PM

Hello, i tried searching the forums but cant find a DIY on changing spark plugs on a 2006 330i. Im mainly concerned with getting to the last one, closest to the cabin, as it does not look accessible. Anyone know if there is a DIY?

Thanks

It's the plastic thing where the cabin air filter (also called microfilter) is located on top of the engine near the firewall. You will have to remove the top of cabin air filter, black plastic clips on both sides, cowl, wiring guides, and engine cover. The DIY shows it in the pictures. The last spark plug may require removal of the bracket, but it is not necessary, if you have extensions and ratchet, that form a low L-shape connections for spark plug removal.
