Spark plug OEM BMW or OEM Audi
I did absolutely nothing apart of spark plugs and oil change . I had E90, 188k km, 330d until it meet it's end when I crash it to railguards. it never showed me any lights or anything so I would say around 60-80$ tops.
Pros: reliable, no warning lights
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 188000 km
I almost went 200000 km on my bmw between spark plug changes, and the motor runs so much better after. My fuel economy almost doubled, and performance was a night and day difference
Pros: motor runs better, fuel economy doubled
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 200000 km
It\u2019s very easy. My s3 has been stage 2 on e85 for the past 60k miles and I have had 0 issues. oil change, spark plugs, etc\u2026 all done by myself and it\u2019s easy.
Pros: very easy, zero issues

I bought my 2019 330i in 2022. It was a lease return. While basic maintenance items are a lot more than, let’s say, a Toyota, it has been far from a money pit. I have put 50k miles on it in the three years I’ve had it, and had nothing out of the ordinary go wrong. Spark plugs, brake pads, air filters, tires, oil changes, that’s it.
Pros: nothing out of ordinary
Cons: maintenance items pricey
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 80467 km
It is, I have a 2020 330xi with 80k miles. It runs like a champ. Make sure you change out spark plugs. Most people don't. NGK's come with the car.
Pros: runs like a champ
Cons: spark plugs
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 128748 km
spark plugs and coils (first ride was smooth I though yeah but then manifested again) main motor mount (better revision, nothing changed, the vibration goes on)
Pros: first ride was smooth
Cons: vibration goes on
Vehicle:
Audi Q3
Mileage: 64000 km
I did my spark plugs on my 335i f30 and I can say one thing. $400 for labor on spark plugs is treason. Shit should take those "experienced" mechanics maybe an hour.
Cons: expensive labor
Vehicle:
BMW
I dug factory installed spark plugs out of my recently departed E90... they looked like something from the stone age. 19 year old car, and from what I could tell, never had the plugs changes.
Cons: old spark plugs
Vehicle:
BMW
Cylinders 1-3 were misfiring. They couldn't get the spark plug out of cylinder 3 because the other dealership had over tightened it. They had to get a special tool to remove it. The tool BROKE because apparently it was so overtightened and mis-threaded. They finally got it out yesterday and sent the cylinder to the machine shop to get the head off. I just got word that there is a hole in the piston and the valve head is completely gone. They are saying now that it has nothing to do with the spark plug being overtightened. He asked about driving through water, and road conditions. It was a dry day. Not an issue. They said I need a new motor at this point.
Pros: spark plug removed, new motor needed
Cons: overtightened spark plug, broken tool, hole in piston, valve head gone
