31000. Just changed them today. Pretty easy DIY. Just make sure the engine is cold before you start. It makes getting the coils out much easier. I could actually pull the coils out by hand by turning them back and forth and then pulling straight up. Make sure you have pretty long extension too.

less than $80 is cheap and as long as you have right tool you should be able to get it done in an hour or so... compare to $300+ at the stealership, it's steal...

it was something like this... very close...
this picture below that i borrowed was taken with only 16k~17k miles of pump gas with couple race gas and few additives... op said most of miles, he was on tune but still, i would strongly advise any of 335i owner to change spark plugs at least every 25k~30k miles...

does everyone just buy OEM plugs or are there better/cheaper solutions that works better? any recommandations and where to get it? i tried to look at Tischer's website but couldn't find it, wondering how much they charge.

Just changed my plugs at 15k. They looked to be in good shape with no noticeable difference on #'s 5 or 6. I probably could have kept them for many more miles.

has anybody found a different set of plugs (other than oem) that can be used. possible a cooler set for higher boost levels? or is the oem the best solution?

Just out of curiosity, changed them at 29K. The plugs looked really good. If I read it correctly, N54 is scheduled for 45K changes on the plugs.
