Anyone have one? BMS is sold out.

[LivnLife31]

I just bought one from Amazon-Assenmacher Specialty Tools SP1412 14mm, 12-Point Thin Walled Spark Plug Socket ($26.75). Make sure you get the right one others claim to fit BMW and do not! If it's a rush you can meet me near Coral Springs and you can borrow it.

[E90SoFlo]

just got the one on Amazon, Thanks.

Do you need to like pop out the magnet or anything with this socket?

[LivnLife31]

Not sure about a magnet, but it has a rubber piece inside to keep the plug in place. Your going to need an 3/8" extension also- it's a deep socket.

Whats up fellas!

I just did my spark plugs and I got the correct thin walled socket from pepboys for $2.75. I will post pics later when I get home. I dont get why everyone is willing to pay over $20 for a socket...

Actually PM'd

[F06msportmia]

whats up guys,

Well here is the pic. Got it at Pepboys and no issues, did all 6 in 45 minutes start to finish and it cost me $2.50...

I really don't see the need to pay anything over $5 buck for a socket. That shit you see for $26 thats just WRONG!

Any case good luck to all and let me know if you need help,

what did u use to pull the plug out? or did it stay in the socket?

[Eric@NRP]

How did you get that socket to work? your spark plugs are 6 point? because the n54 and n55 come 12 point and you can only get them off with the 12 point socket. just curious

[F06msportmia]

I just know that it fits perfect... I took the new NGK (1208) ILZFR6D11 Laser Iridium spark plug (AMAZON).com to Pepboys inserted into the socket and it was a perfect fit. 12 point 6 point 8 point, I have no CLUE... I just know that it fit and it works perfect. I did the change in 45 minutes and have NO issues. Recommendation, take the new plug to Pepboys and see if it fits. Thats what I used and it worked.

[E90SoFlo]

Its not the fit around the plug, its getting the socket down into the hole. I have sockets that fit the plugs they're just not thin walled.

Not sure if you are even comparing apples to apples! Our plug is Bosch p/n ZGR6STE2 and this is the only part number the Bentley gives for the 335i.

[E90SoFlo]

There is no NGK plug that works on the 335i (according to NGK's website)

[F06msportmia]

Sounds like this got all MIXED UP real quick. First thing, I don't have 335i, I have 2006 325i Pre-LCI. That's the socket I used and those where the spark plugs that the car requires. Where are not comparing apples to apples cause of the model of the car. Simply put this is what I used for my 325i pre-lci and it worked. Now I see reading back 335i have different plugs and perhaps require different socket.

[F06msportmia]

Sorry for the CONFUSION guys!

[E90SoFlo]

lol yeah the 335 has a different socket needed

[F06msportmia]

But I would still check out Pepboys, you just might find the socket cheaper... I bought the socket to remove the oil filter for $5, online starts at $15.
